Hi Everyone Please see the picture of my blueberry plant.
It is showing signs of decay and I have no idea why?
Can anyone help me and suggest what might be the cause of this?

Some of my leaves are like that. It's fruiting fine though.. I put mine down to being very exposed, in a very windy position.
How old is the bush? Is it in a pot or in the ground? -
Hi Thanks for the reply it is only 1 year and in planted in a pot.
It is in a corner well kept, I have grown them before and never seen this?Comment

I didn't look at the leaves on your hand, heh. I see what Two Sheds means now. I was looking at the leaves to the right.
In anycase, the pests that affect blueberries are relavtively small in numbers. You'll get a much healthier plant if it's in ericaceous compost (acidic compost), keep it moist during the summer - and even feed with it some feed suitable for acid loving plants. I don't bother - mine are in pots, and we've had about a punnet off one plant so far, and have a punnet off the other two ripening now.
This is a great post about blueberries: http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...uide_6408.htmlComment

(probably should say my plants are 2 years old... the first year I had 1 berry from them..)

Is it bite marks? The cracking has me a bit puzzled almost as if parts of the leaves have dried up.Originally posted by Two_Sheds View PostComment

You could try a feed, esp if it is fruiting - I use seaweed extract as a liquid feed when the fruit are formed.
