Something is eating my bittersweet blooms.

Question

Every year I see tiny little pre-berry blooms. When I go out to inspect them a few days later they are totally gone!! What would eat my berries or is there something wrong with my plant and they fall off. I had 2 full bloom berries this year!!!!

Answer 1

The berries are poisonous to humans but highly desirable to birds. I'm not clear whether you are seeing the flowers or actually the beginning of berries. You do need a male plant in addition to female plants to produce berries. There could be a lack of pollination causing blooms to fall off.
