QuestionMy aubergine flowers are falling off the plant - this has been happening for at least 6 weeks. The plant is in a poly tunnel and is watered(not I feel over watered)and fed an organic feed regularly. I cannot determine between male and female flowers - is pollination the problem? There appears to be a small fruit formed in the fallen flowers.
Help,
Tanya.
AnswerDear Tanya,
Anytime a plant is not exposed to insects, bees, or even wind, pollination can be a problem.
If you actually see a fruit, then pollination has occurred. But the female blossoms do have a "button" or I don't know what it's called, but it's where the fruit does form.
Check into artificial pollination procedures and see what happens.
Kind Regards,
Kindred
