Can unpollinated squash form tiny fruit that never mature?
Can unpollinated yellow, summer crook neck squash form tiny (about 1-1/2 inch long) little squash fruit that never matures?
I am getting some little bitty squash fruit that just never matures. They get about 1-1/2 inch long and just shrivel up.
Some others actually get large enough to eat.
We don't have many bees coming around and I have never pollinated it by hand.
I read somewhere that unpollinated female squash blossoms will do that (produce fruit that never develops).
Does anybody know if that is true?
I thought that an unpollinated female blossom simply would not develop any fruit at all.
Thanks.
