I have a problem with holes appearing in the leaves of my raspberry plant.
This is my first attempt at growing raspberries, so far I have not found an answer, cannot see any wee beasties on the cane or leaves.
Please can anyone help.

Hi! Welcome.

It could be any number of things. Slugs/snails come to mind & they attack primarily at night which is why you'd probably not see them. Japanese beetles.

Could you post a photo so we can see the size and character of the holes?
