Question

Based on what you learned about how plants function, why do you think they produce less fruit in the winter?

Answer 1

A reason why your plants might be under-producing is the weather. Unusually hot, cold, dry, or wet conditions can interfere with fruit production. Wind and heat can dry out soil and scorch plants.

Answer 2

Frost is capable of damaging the flower buds and blooms of fruiting plants to the extent that the plants will not bear fruit.
