I plant in the first quarter nearest to 1st of Sept. I use Hibiscus fertilizer and have had great results. They are thirsty plants but don't like wet feet, and they are ferocious feeders.

The bush is quite large and looks healthy. I can see no evidence of pests but the immature fruit die off on the branch and harden. Can you please advise what I can do?
