What's wrong with my plants?

[Te3]

Could someone please help me?! I have noticed this year my roses, grapes and blueberry plants are growing weird.
Regrowth starts, than the leaves start curling and drying up.
I have fertilised, watered and even given them eco-seaweed as normal & given the roses the same attention i always
give them. I have even noticed my blueberries start drying up at some stage, most of the time when the flowers start to fruit.

Does anyone know what is happening to them?
I have included photos.

I really appreciate any help i can get.

Welcome to the forums

I would have thought it was a virus spread by aphids, but there doesn't seem to be any sign of them from your pics, so not quite sure there.

Having 3 different types of plants all suffering from the same thing is not normal. From the pics there is are no signs of any insects or insect damage. All 3 plants have different growth habits. Nutrition should not be a factor since you fertilized them. Only on the blueberrys is there any sign of fungus and that is minor. A virus of some sort is possible but unlikely. The only thing, IMO, that could affect all three types of plants at the same time and show similar symptoms is herbicide damage. Herbicides can drift with the wind for miles. The symptoms on your plants look like what SMALL amounts of herbicides like Roundup will do on plants. The effects of the herbicide in small quantities can take weeks to show up.

I think you might be right, if the city or state are spraying herbicide any place with in a few miles it can drift on the wind. My city has stopped using herbicides just for that reason.

Oh i hope not I first thought that maybe it was from planes dumping fuel whilst they fly over but i don't know.
Would the plants still be ok either way?
Should i water my blueberry plant with eco-fungicide?

Is there anything i can use to help my plants if it is from herbicide?
So disappointed as i only use organic products

It wouldn't hurt but won't your blueberries be dropping their leaves soon? If so I wouldn't worry about it.

Really sorry to hear about your plants Chuck makes a very good point regarding herbicides. In terms of how to fix it, unfortunately there is no easy quick treatment. It would probably be a good idea to cut back any abnormal growth, and to just carry on looking after the plants as you have.

By the way, welcome to the forum!

I don't really know for sure. I have read and heard that by using a solution of molasses and liquid humus it will negate the effects of the herbicide in the soil. I think it depends on which type of herbicide. Your plants will probably be OK as most of the common herbicides deteriorate over time

My blueberry plant has just gone through growing new leaves as it's now Spring in Australia.
I will have to see how they go and i hope whoever uses herbicide never uses it again.
I guess i which just have to see how they go.
Thanks for the help everyone and thanks for the welcome Becky

Oh, oh, the unhealthy leaves may be a virus. We had been attacked just recently when our lemon tree withered and eventually died. It started with curling leaves in some portion and then that portion dried including the branch. After removing the dried branch, the disease spread to other branches. Now we have another lemon tree being affected although I'm glad that our grape vine is pretty safe in the backyard.
