Q.Zucchini Flowers

Anonymous added on July 6, 2011 | Answered

I have 3 zucchini plants that are growing very nicely. They all have lots of flowers on them, but not one zucchini on the plant. The flowers bloom and then fall off. Why are there no fruits growing?

This is typical behavior for a squash plant. They will produce mostly male (non-fruiting) blossoms early in the season and will gradually start to produce more female blossoms as the season progresses. Give it some time and you will see it start fruiting. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/zucchini/why-zucchini-blossoms-fall-off-the-plant.htm

If you are seeing fruit but they are falling off, this article will help:
