Why squash blossoms self prune in hot dry weather
Iowa State University Extension horticulturist Ed Cott explains that male squash flowers appear before females and pollen release requires both open. Plants produce five to ten male blooms per female and often shed extra blooms to allocate energy to fewer fruits. Heat and dry soil stress reduce energy, limiting fruiting and causing few or no squashes.
