Ive had the very same problem with young pumpkin yellowing them falling off dur to lack of pollination,,, So I tried hand pollination but then the males didn't have any pollen showing on fingers or brush,,, I can only put it down to inmature males ??,,,, any answers to my problem would be most grateful

Had the same problem but found if i opened up the male flowers before they do it themselves , you get a hell of a lot more pollen that way.
