I’ve got very limited space & wanted to try container gardening. I planted these this year. I’m in FL 9B. They were in full sun for months but full sun here is “hell” full sun. They were watered unless we have our daily 3:30 rain. I’ve moved them 2x thinking it was burning & too much sun. I pull all the spotted leaves off when doing yard work but have been bed bound for a bit after surgery. What should I do? I’ve found a place where I can plant them in the ground that doesn’t get hell’s spotlight on it all day but are they burned or is it a problem that needs something else? I got some very nice berries at first but I also read they really start putting fruit out the 2nd year. Any advice? Are they savable?

I’ve had a similar experience.
Yet when I was in North Carolina zone 7B it felt I could do no wrong planting everything in the ground and irrigating.
Since coming to Florida, also zone 9B, now I feel like I kill everything I touch.
mine has the same problem but the new growth grows faster than the bad leaves fall. I tried looking it up and comments on a facebook post said it means they need more nutrients but I don’t know for sure if thats true
Hi, I think it might be nitrogen problems ( correct me if I am wrong please ).
From what I know, raspberries, blue berries and black berries need an acidic soil or alkaline kind of soil to grow properly, it might also be an imbalance of magnesium and potassium,
I yet need to plant my berry patches and did some research on the requirements for them, it might also be that the size of your container is too small to support healthy root growth and has insufficient mineral build up as storage for future usage/growth 🤔.
Again, I might be wrong so if anyone has more information, I would gladly stay glued to this comment for the advice given.
