I guess it was that hot...which is rare here in Pittsburgh (meaning no
reason to buy heat-resistant varieties usually).

What else do you want to know? The plants look great otherwise. It's been
hot and humid although there were long days where there was no rain and
I was careful to only water around the roots. Perhaps the lack of physical
stimulation (pollination?) was the problem? I don't know what else to tell
you.

Exactly how hot and humid? Night-time low temperatures much above
70-75 deg. F or daytime highs in the 90s can cause blossom drop. High
humidity can also interfere with pollination.

There are specific varieties selected to tolerate high temperatures.
