I recently read you should do that to encourage roots to grow instead of
berries the 1st year.


Where? Strawberries, yes. You pinch off the first-year flowers
so that the plant energy will go into runners & the next
spring into fruit. They go for about 3 years & then start again.

Never heard of that for blueberries. We grew those for years.
