For some reason this year on the giant butternut plant I've had every single butternut abort on me after 5-6 days. They look good and grow then all of a sudden just stop growing! Good pollen too. I've literally had over 15 abort This butternut right here looks promising at 5 days but the blossom end split two days ago from the quick growth. She's trying to heal and I've got some backups but this one definitely looks the most promising so far. We shall see! Ive stopped feeding the plant as maybe it's too jacked up for them to take.
