Hi all. I have a few raspberry plants in pots next to each other which were all doing well. I noticed 2 weeks ago that a MASSIVE weed had got in one of the pots. I removed it and put mulch around everything to reduce it happpening again. Now the raspberry plant is going yellow 
. I’ve put fresh soil in, fed and put it in prime sun spot.... I don’t know if it’s a lost cause but there’s some fruit on it but not many leaves. I’m guessing if alll the leaves die the plant can’t photosynthesise and the fruit won’t grow?
Any hints? I water every other day. Thanks in advance.

Might be a simple Nitrogen deficiency as the weed might have sapped a lot of it...put some pics up and we can take a look 😊
In your pic however your new growth is dying. That is pretty bad. The little green cane sprouting out the soil which leaves have turned black on the outskirts and are wilting. This is next years fruiting growth so your plant is not going to produce any new fruit next year.
Did the leaves look black before you fed it..? I knw you mention the yellow leaves, that was just a sign of a too small pot. However I feel like you have done something that has gone from yellow leaves to black leaves.
I would repot asap, be gentle on the feeding. Cut away any fruit. This plant is stressed and needs to recover - if it can.
Like said some raspberries can be grown in pots but not the varieties that grow 10 times bigger than the pot.
