Title: Cape gooseberry - HELP PLEASE!!
Post by: Topsie on May 31, 2008, 21:24

Hi

I am growing a cape gooseberry plant and its massive well about 3ft tall and I am so proud of it ... but I just noticed the bottom leaves have got white spots on them but the spots are where the leaves have gone very thin and see through!!  The higher up leaves have a few spots on them as well but no where near as many as the bottom leaves!

Does anyone know what this is??  I am worried that I am going to have to throw away my biggest plant!!!

Thanks in advance for any help!!

Isn't it just cold, frost damage which happened a couple of weeks ago? Just bouncing it for you, really. :wink:
