Zucchini Plants

Question

My zucchini plants blossom and then the blossom dies without any fruit. I don’t have one zucchini on the plant. What am I doing wrong?

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.

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