Pepper Fruit Falling with Hole: Incomplete Pollination or Cold, Slug Damage

Introduction

A pepper that falls with a hole likely dropped due to stress, then got slug damage.

Fruit Drop from Cold or Poor Pollination

Cold snaps or incomplete fertilization cause early drop.

Hole Likely from Slug or Ground Insect

Check for seeds inside—if none, pollination failed.

More Fruit Will Come

Plant will produce more peppers.

Conclusion

Dropped pepper with hole = cold/pollination issue + slug. Wait for next flush.
