Abstract : Inflorescence size, flower number, flower sex and fruit set were determined in cultivars Bangalora, Batavi, Common, Glenn, Irwin and Kensington. Large differences were shown between cultivars in flowers per inflorescence (1431 to 3962), and final fruit set per inflorescence (0.33 to 1.39). The number of hermaphrodite flowers per set fruit varied from 231.2 for Common to 1416.0 for Kensington. The horticultural implications are discussed.
