One of 3 plants all planted last year after we bought them from the nursery. This one flowered but never fruited like the others. It did have some decent growth after it dropped the flowers so there's that.

I noticed some redness on one of the others but this one has the most red leaves. Not sure if there might be a nutrient missing or some other issue or if this is completely normal!

Ya that doesn't look great to me. Here's an article that seems to describe what you're seeing and I would bet that it's pH as the article suggests, since it's uncommon to have that kind of acidity in the average garden. I would add lots of pine needles and even some coffee grounds for a quick cheap fix. What kind of bloobs are they?

Hmm yeah thanks for sharing that. Probably is a PH issue, I can add some coffee grounds to it.

I might also see if I can get some PH strips to test the acidity as well
