Most likely too hot for fruit set. Anything over 90 consistently and it will be difficult for them even though they are heat tolerant.

Are they planted next to each other? I believe they have to cross pollinate.

They don’t do well with the mix of hot and especially humid conditions.

Pretty sure this is correct. Our humid air and hot temperatures lead to the pollen not getting transported to neighboring plants. You could try to help them with q tips or something…. I’ve never tried growing them before.
