Very long winded but the message is to harvest your male flowers when
they bloom then refrigerate or even freeze them so you have males ready
when the females bloom.

Never having had an issue with lack of male flowers before, this is a
"20/20 hindsight" bit of information.

However something to consider for future years, perhaps.


Just been given a male flower by a friend who has loads.

We shall see if poking the female flower with some pollen makes a
difference.

Cheers
