These I think are my autumn fruiting.

Are they :

1) Tired
2) Hungry
3) Thirsty
4) Suicidal

bothered by the cold winds we've had, well that's when my rasps and strawbs started looking like that 

[kezlou]

yep mine are looking like that too 

but just looked again today in the vain hope that they live and found loads of large green aphids on the back of a dying bunch of leaves
Not bleeding impressed

Lardman, can I assume that you know that raspberries need yearly feeding with old manure and frequent watering during cropping?

Yes you can   They were mulched with well rotted chicken pooh / compost last winter and given 2 applications of growmore before they turned into a thicket and I could no longer see the ground to scatter on. I have had the hose on them most nights and certainly during the warm spell we had. 

I think Im struggling with my sandbox again.

Then if you've done the feeding and watering, then its the weather that's giving you a hard time right now. Patience is all that's left.

Ran out of that years ago 

The soils very poor and Im worried that 'normal' feeding and watering just isn't enough.
