Stupice fruitset

duajones · July 13, 2007

I noticed sometime last week that my stupice plant had set fruit. When I first noticed, it was the size of a bb. Today, it is still bb size while right next to it is one that has grown to the size of a marble. The plant is struggling to set but isnt dropping blossoms. Anyway, the bb sized fruit just doesnt seem to be growing and Im not sure why. Im sure someone here can explain. Decreased pollen viability due to heat?

The plant is dropping blossoms now but is setting fruit as well with 8 or 10 fruit on it now and looks like more coming. Pleasant surprise. Looks like I may have some tomatoes during summer afterall. Gary O' Sena is struggling but has one fruit set on it as well.
