Hi James,

It is possible that things like Ph can affect fruit drop, but by far and away the most common reason is pollination problems.
This can be very variable weather during the pollination period. Either excessive rain or the exact opposite and very dry.
Water logged roots will cause die back in them resulting in fruit drop.
How was the weather at blossom time?
