A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Food Garden Forum Fruit Forum What's wrong with my raspberry canes?

I just noticed today that on some of my raspberry canes, the new buds instead of forming leaves are 'exploding' into an array of . . . I don't know what.

Have a look for yourself:

Does anyone know what's causing this and what can be done about it if it's pathological?

Thanks

Those 'explosions' are just the leaves in their early stages. As they grow, they unfurl and start to look more normal.
