If your overnight temps. are under 12degrees remove the flower stems.... They should reflower in appox 4 to 6 weeks & the weather should be hotter....Mike

Hi Ibis,

how old is the tree, what season is in it Perth right now? What's your average temp this time of year?

Put up a photo will help, depending on the time of year, location, season & age of tree.

This might be some help Ibis - and I am just down the road.
I have removed all my flowers because experience has shown me that the rain we get at this time of the year and into early spring - ruins pollination and can often cause fungal growth in the flowers anyway.
You will get secondary flowering later - from side buds...

Mike Tr - it's drier where you are now - but have you ever cut off flowers to see if the secondary flowering carries as much fruit?

I have chopped all the flowers off our Mahachonok - just to see what the crop might be like for the second flower flush.
It's our rainy season here - pretty much until sometime in Sept. Sometimes our springs are dry other times soaking wet...
