Non-fruiting quince AND Kiwi fruit
« on: November 17, 2015, 16:41 »
I have a Jenny kiwi fruit that produces loads of blossom but no fruit. I have tried hand pollinating to no avail. The flowers just, eventually, drop off. It is on a south facing fence and is about 7 years old. The quince is a Vranja variety and is about 4 years old. 2 Years ago I had limited blossom and 3 fruits. The past 2 years I have had (again!) loads of blossom but no fruits. On both kiwi and quince the bees have working in them during flowering, but the flowers just fade and drop off. Any suggestions??

For the quince it's probably still too young. I have a Vranja too and was told it would start fruiting properly after it got past its fifth birthday. To keep the baby fruit attached to the tree, make sure it gets watered enough. It's a tree that likes boggy ground. It will drop its fruit if the roots get dry, which is what happened to all mine last year.
