I think your confused here or need to give more information regarding what
he meant. If you bag that flower it will still produce a fruit, infact one
with pure seed if it is an open pollenated type of pepper. Tomatoes, Peppers
and many other plants are self pollenating. They have perfect flowers,
meaning the mail and female are present already. They do not need bees or
insects. They can be cross pollenated by insects. Now if you pull every
flower or bud off that plant before it opens then you will never have any
fruit on that plant because that bud/flower becomes the fruit.

Hello,
My buddy swears that a bell pepper, (or anything else) will
produce peppers without pollination and that the peppers will
only lack seeds and will otherwise be normal.
I say bologna. a little help if you please.
