Re: Early male


Yep, happened to me...never figured it out.  I had
literally hundreds of female blooms and no males.   
This condition existed throughout the entire growing
season for that plant.  And the one right next to
it(same conditions/soil/treatment)produced the SC
state record.  Go figure.  I tried hand pollinating
many females(with pollen from the plant right next to
it) but every single fruit aborted by grapefruit size.
 When in doubt blame genetics, I did  <:^}>  BF
