Here's an open pollination- I bet the asymmetric shape is due to inefficient pollination by the bees. I read in a paper that bee's pollination efficiency is around 5%. I also bet that hand-pollination with several males is much much more efficient. So, I guess I predict that the more efficient the pollination, the larger and more symmetric the fruit? I really enjoy the science behind what we are tying to acheive.
