Ive got one thats doing great. I dont pinch out or remove any buds. I started it in the gh, but moved to a garden bucket to get pollinated then left it there. Must have 8 or so fruits on it now. Hope this helps. Lee.

It's best not to have more than 4 fruits on each, although because I love the flowers, I wait for any extras to go before lopping them.

Thank you. Can i brush the flowers with my hands? Do I do both plants, they are in different pots but next to each other?

Aubergines are very good self pollinators, provided their environment is not bone dry... some chance at the mo', even in my greenhouse
