Lima Beans Have No Pods

Question

I have lima beans on poles with hundreds and hundreds of flowers but not even one pod. Please help me to resolve this problem.

Answer 1

It sounds like it may be a pollination problem. If pollinators can't get to the blossoms, there will be no fruit. Common causes of pollinators not being able to get to flowers include pesticides, heavy rain or very hot weather.
