New leaves looking feathery and jagged...
I planted out on April 24th. so I got a pretty good start for this area. My Marianna's Peace and Polish (Ellis) are already over 5' tall and the Brandy Boys, Big Zacs and Bucks County are not far behind. The stockiest shortest plants are the Bucks Counties but they have prenty of fruits. Bringing up the rear as far as plant size are New Yorker, Ugly and Goose Creek. Over the past 10 days or so I've been noticing that the new leaves look odd in that they are feathery and jagged looking. The edges almost look ruffled. As they grow they have a more geometric look almost like a holly leaf. They are pointier than the lower leaves and definitely have a different shape. Whatever is causing this does not seem to be affecting the plants vigor but I have noticed a fair anount of blossom drop in the last few days. I will try to take some pics but my BH has the digital camera with them on a trip and I won't get it back till next week. I'm thinking this is something enviromental as it is affecting all of my plants, both the PL and RL varieties. Any ideas?
