Sorry I cant (Wont) recommend an insecticide therefore I suggest soapy water regularly sprayed on the plant this breaks down the insects protective coat and it will die off or else you could purchase some Bacillus thuringiensis |

Hi greengage,
With a red face I will tell you that the black things are little thorns on the raspberry stem.
My partner went to look and laughed at me a lot 😱😘😱😘 |
