Poor fruit set clusters will tend to be small, and berries will not fully develop on the rachis.  Terminal buds may not break in the spring, and ends of shoots sometimes are distorted.  Borax or borate, B carriers, can be sprayed on in the spring when needed.  Pre-bloom sprays seem to be an effective way to get B into flower parts. Use foliar applications at an annual rate of one pound of actual boron per acre.

Foliar spray of Borax 0.2% at soil application of Borax 25-50 g/plat.
