Can't offer help but, until you get a learned reply, I would say that 40 would be a better number?

Rosyred-Telegraph is an older variety that produces male as well as female flowers. Take the male flowers(those with no cu behind them) off and wait to see if more female fruit sets.

40 would be an exceptional crop but anything under 10 would be on the lean side,did you let the plant get established before you let it fruit?
