Flowers, Bees but no fruit

18 years ago

Have two edulis and 4 Constance Elliot growing side by side/over each other.

Flowers and bees galore but nothing else.

Have tried hand pollination/cross-pollination but nothing.

Have just planted an Atala - will this assist in pollination if not this year, next?

TIA,

Cath

.... From personal expierence... Who knows what the heck these things need to produce fruit?

I have a capsularis & a quinquangularis in the back yard. When I leave them alone, they fruit. If I cross them, I get fruit. If I hand polinate each with itself, nothing. I don't know what to tell you.
