Any ideas on my sterling?

[FamilyTradition]

2nd year they still look the same like a bush

Is there something wrong with them?View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1437171317.985451.jpgView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1437171360.265953.jpg

Is there white powdery looking spots on the leaves? Near the yellowish ones?

Oh I don't quite know what's wrong then.

My first guess is that grass is stunting them. Give them more space, fertilize, and water heavily. Then see if they take off.

Great! Okay I'll give this a try maybe tomorrow, heat index is 105 in PA today

My Sterlings look the same way. They must be more susceptible to leaf diseases than other varieties. If it were insects or leaf miners I would think the rest would have the same problems. My Cascade, Chinook, Columbus and Willamette are all planted in the same place and don't have the same issue.

Have you gotten any production from your sterlings yet? Mine are on year two maybe next year will be better
