Default Re: Why my Pitogo flowers are dropping?

That is still odd though, even if it did not have energy to support fruit at the time of flowering, it should have at least made some. I have seen many malnourished plants that set out female flowers but cannot grow them into proper fruit. The case with yours seems to be the complete lack of female flowers at all, which would have been detirmined sometime prior to actually flowering, however if this was caused by poor conditions as a juvenile or during the time of flower production (the infloresence is produced up to 6 months prior to emergence in the winter, 3 months in the summer). So if something could have been negatively affecting the plant 3-6months ago, that could explain why female flowers were not produced, but keep in mind this is just speculation and I really have no solid clue as to why your plant would do this.
