I've got a small bluberry bush that I received in the middle of the cold spell. With a plant that had been through he hardships of being delivered in a box thought it would be best to keep inside to help it heal and recover.

Unfortunately I've kept it in too long and it's now flowering! When the flowering season should be June/July/August.

Would it be worthwhile cutting off the flowers to help promote stem growth? Theory behind this is that more stems/branches will mean more flowers and fruit later on in the season?

Any advise appreciated.

Thanks. I'm Edinburgh so play on what stereotypes about weather you want! :P

It's now planted up outside in a pot, so will try and stop mollycoddling it.
Where I got it from says it can self fertilise but an other one would help, it's still £1.99 so there is a temptation to get one!

I have a potted bluberry outside my kitchen window. I noticed 2
flowers out on it a couple of weeks ago!
