Flower production and development, fruit setting, and the diversity and efficiency of insect pollinators are described for a site of potential commercial production. 98 percent of flowers were pollinated, though only 15.5 percent developed into fruit, which suggests that another factor is limiting fruit set. Nonetheless, pollination is important, and pollinators will need protection.
