Re: Is is ok for fruit to grow from the extremities of a vine? newbie UK

sounds like your plant has about 8 ft vines. The females will NOT appear in the middle of established vines. Watch the tip of your mane vine and the females should begin to appear soon. Once you see them it will take a week to 10 days for them to open. It is best to pollinate fruit on the main vine if possible.

My female flowers only grow at the ends of newly growing vines.  They have
only just started to appear, will more female flowers grow from the middle
of established vines? I am worried that my only fruits will grow at the
extremities of the plant and may not get optimal nutriment from the main
plant because it is so far away!
