A tad past a year old- Been in the ground since May or June- Surviving one of the hottest and driest summers ever. Just wondering if this weather has impacted the fruit bearing odds or if it's still premature to start flowering etc. Using fish fertilizer and potassium additive about every three weeks.

The weather when it gets above 90F slows things down, but they still chug along. My guess is it's still a little too young. I know here in zone 9b they take close to 18 months to flower.
