Based on what you learned about how plants function, why do you think they produce less fruit in the winter?

Frost is capable of damaging the flower buds and blooms of fruiting plants to the extent that the plants will not bear fruit.

A reason why your plants might be under-producing is the weather. Unusually hot, cold, dry, or wet conditions can interfere with fruit production. Wind and heat can dry out soil and scorch plants.
