Jan 30, 2023 · Blackberry bushes are deciduous plants, so it’s normal for them to go dormant and drop their leaves (usually yellow or red in color) in the fall and winter. This is a survival response for the plant to conserve its energy through the cold season, similar to hibernation.
- Improper Watering. The best way to water blackberry plants is to only water when the top 2-4 inches of soil is dry. I check this by pushing a finger into the soil.
- Hot Weather. Blackberry plants that are too hot and dry get wilting leaves as the moisture is leaving the leaf faster than the roots can supply it. And if the roots don’t have sufficient moisture, the leaves can curl, curl, brown, and drop in a matter of days or hours.
- Transplant Shock. If your blackberry plant was recently planted or repotted, and its leaves are wilting or drooping, it’s likely due to transplant shock.
- Diseases. Verticillium Wilt. Verticillium wilt is a fungus that is similar to root rot in that it usually occurs in soils with excess water. Additionally, over-fertilizing can also cause it.
Daily watering essential if planted Spring-Summer. Feed at planting with bonemeal; topdress annually. Most varieties need support with post/wires, or grow against a wall or over a hedge or outbuilding. Usually they are trained up post and wire support systems because the growth is too lac to support itself.
