An unidentified raspberry skeletonizer is causing problems in high tunnel raspberries in eastern New York. No culprit apprehended as yet. The damage is located in areas that have more leaf litter. Feeding occurs on emerging primocanes right down to leaf mid-ribs. The aggressive feeding is preventing primocane development, which will be a problem for next year!
