Did they tell you *why* ?

Thinking about it, plants that grow in nature certainly
don't have all their blossoms removed the first year.... So
I am curious.


Their web site says
"Do not permit berries to develop, as they will restrict shoot growth".

I'm a blueberry growing newbie. I'm just guessing that when Mother Nature is
doing her magic there is no rush but us humans want everything ASAP.


Thanks, this makes sense. We've ordered three blueberry
bushes - they will arrive in May - so I'm glad to know this.
