| I've some volunteers, the little red pear shaped ones, largely ignored. A couple of plants near a solid wood fence where they are in the shade until noon have considerable fruit and are starting to blush. Four others several feet away that get sun almost all day have just a few tiny green beginnings. Same water and soil. |

| Well, what you have stated could be due to other reasons than just sun; Like, soil type, variety, nutrients ... Plants with less nutrients in poor soil tend to ripen fruits faster. But the plants and the fruits will be smaller in size. Probably , you are caring too much for those with smaller, green fruits and growing lots of foliage ! In my garden I start getting direct sun after 11: am. |
