3. Avoid Pollinating Issues
One of the ways to avoid pollinating issues is to plant the zucchini in groups. One of the issues with pollination is the fact that the zucchini blossoms only have a one-day lifespan.
Another problem is that you have to have a female and male flower open during the same time span. When zucchini plants are new they produce mostly male flowers. This can be quite frustrating because there are a ton of flowers, but now fruits beginning to form. Patience is key.
Once the plants really start to form you will see flowers from both sexes. The early males should attract pollinating insects. Female flowers will have tiny fruits located at the base.
If you are dedicated to your zucchini plants you can take pollination into your own hands by removing male flowers and then dusting the pollen into the females. This ensures proper pollination will occur.
