Zucchini Flowers

Question

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?

Answer 1

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
