Well normally plant and grow with no problems but this year it’s growing well and flowering amazingly only 95% are male flowers do I pick them off or leave them the fruits are not appearing to fill out.
Anyone with any ideas. I have two types Partner F1 self fertile and piccolo di piarigi .
Cheers John.

Have you got plenty of pollinating insects?  If not you could try doing this with a paint brush.
Removing male flowers won’t make any difference to fruit set.
