You’re not the first to report this on here this spring, and I noticed at the weekend that my gooseberry bush also had some discoloured leaves. I’m putting it down to a very dry spring and have given it a couple of buckets of water and will give it some more tomorrow. I’ll continue to give it two buckets of water twice a week until I pick the fruit, unless we get a few really good downpours. I’m also watering my pear tree and broad beans ... the soil is quite dry.
