Default Re: Why my Pitogo flowers are dropping?

what is the history of this plant? when it was young, how much care did it receive? The growth period that most influences fruit production are the first few months of its life after initial planting, if when young, it was heavily stressed and or not taken care of, that could at least partly explain the lack of fruit. however, i am also noticing the leaves look sickly and yellow, and it does not appear to have any good strong green leaves. most bananas should have at least 8 strong leaves to support the growth of a fruit bunch. if you could describe the history of this plant as it has grown and matured, maybe we could pinpoint where it went wrong. also, i admit i have no experience identifying diseases, but if your plant should otherwise be healthy, it looks to have some sort of pathogen affecting it.
