Even where I am in Zone 5 in upstate NY,it will get to 90 or above,that's F not C, but at 90 plus for several days the pollen is destroyed, denatured,and if it's also humid the pollen wil lclump making it less produtive.
Once the temps go back down new buds and blossoms appear and onward it goes.
But what I can't remember is when I was growing it so often what the weather was like.
And I'm sure you'll also look into the other two varieties that you mentioned as well.
