2010 foto, Cornelius, OR - Berries on 2 year old haskap from OSU
"japanese haskap propagated in 2008. planted in 2009. when i bought the plants from the Oregon State University they were in six inch pots and about 15 inches tall.  they grew and were very healthy. after i planted them they started to get this browning of the leaves. the browning will get so bad that the plants lose most leaves and go into a dormancy in june.  i am leaning towards powdery mildew but i don't really see any white dust coating any of the leaf top or bottom.  these plants were started from cuttings and they are only identified by number i believe i have 6 different kinds. plants are on drip irrigation. fetilized using 16-16-16 and hazelnut shells (1/2 gal bucket/plant). this year will try Miracle Grow. i just want to make it clear that this is my problem that i have not seen on any other OSU plants."
