hello!

i recall reading somewhere that very young trees expend a pointless amount
of energy in flowering/fruiting, when they'd be better off just growing.

i have some little blueberries (only about 20cm high) which are flowering
(very cute ;-) & i feel inclined to take the flowers off this year & maybe
next, just so they can spend their time getting bigger, instead of making 3
blueberries each for no advantage to anyone.

also, some almonds, although these are about 1.5m high now - and probably
old enough to be allowed to fruit...(?)

thanks for any advice! any general advice on when fruiting plants should be
allowed to go for it would be rather handy. ta all.
