January 15, 2021Q.Eggplant Fruit
I have 2 eggplant plants. One Japanese and one black beauty. My Japanese plant produce in abundance. But the black beauty gets tons of flowers but the all fall off during the summer season. However, now that it is cooler (I live in the clearwater Florida area) it is starting to fruit up. Why is this and what can I do to make the fruit come for the summer season?

Certified ExpertA.This is likely a response to overwatering. It will be necessary to let them dry out ,some, between waterings. I would start with fresh soil and start new seedlings, being mindful of soil moisture. This article will help:
