While I'm asking, what is the max number of lobes the flower can have, and the least?

Thanks for your time, happy growing! :)

This site is full of search-able details on almost any topic. Go above to the top right to site search and type in "number of lobes" and you will get many threads.

Atached is one that will get you going.

well...duh! I searched for "lobes" and got piles of grower diary posts that just listed the number of lobes on such and such. I went through a whole page of that, gave up and settled for the lazy path.

Thanks :)

The lazy answer then is............5. If you read more though, you will see that somewhere around 70%+ of 1000+ fruit were on 5 lobe pollinations, but there is still another 25% or so for 4 lobes, and then roughly 5% on 6 lobes I think.
