Raspberries drying up before they reach that juicy, candy-like stage usually point to a problem with water, heat, pests, or plant health. Those shriveled little berries can feel like a cruel garden joke, especially after watching green fruit slowly develop on healthy-looking canes.
But don’t get too worried! Luckily for us, a raspberry patch often gives plenty of clues before it completely gives up. By spotting the warning signs, gardeners can fix the problem and get sweeter, plumper berries instead of tiny fruit that looks like it spent a week under a hair dryer.
