American Gooseberry Mildew is a very common disease that can attack gooseberries and blackcurrants. This fungal disease produces a whitish - grey powdery growth that appears on the upper leaf surface, stems and fruit. Severely affected leaves, especially the young growth towards the tip may become distorted and die off. The shoot tips may also die back. The fungal growth on the fruit will turn pale brown in colour with age. | |
