I think maybe so, and other people have responded they think probably so.
Remember the Hawaiian Apple that snapped in half at the roof line and then decided to bloom? It was attached to many pups and many adult plants but the fruit never matured. I have also had plants bloom then loose all their leaves due to wind or frost and those fruits never matured either.
