Drought injury
Eric Hanson, Horticulture
Drought in early summer causes wilting of young shoots and reduced growth of shoots and berries. When drought occurs later in the season, berries may shrivel, and the margins of leaves turn brown and die starting toward the tip of the leaf.
Drought in the autumn reduces flower bud initiation and yields for the following year.
