Every year I have a few raspberry plants whose berries get hard and
desiccated rather than plump and juicy. It's isolated to a few plants
surrounded by healthy ones, making me think it's a root-derived problem
(these are fall-bearing on primocanes). I thought I had a description and
picture in my diseases book, but I couldn't find it today. But I wouldn't say
mine look like immature berries, more like mummies of a real raspberry.
