There are two bushes on the side of my house that have dusty leaves. There's another plant in between that doesn't seem to be affected. However, I transplanted some raspberries this year, and one of the raspberries is near by and looks like it has been infected.
It looks to me like some kind of fungus. I've not had any problems with these bushes in previous years (we've been in the house 6 years). It is on a side of the house that has shade in the morning, but gets full sun most of the afternoon (basically the west side of the house).
I thought about treating this with a anti-fungal spray I have. The active ingredient is Propiconazole. It is labeled for lawn use, and has a notice about not spraying food plants. I've collected a few berries, but I wasn't really expecting to get any raspberries the first year and I could just not harvest anything, if need be.
I'm going to do some other research, but would be interested in anyone's thoughts. Am I correct that this is fungal? Would Propiconazole be an appropriate treatment? If so, should I not harvest any berries for the rest of the season?
