Would you still refrain your blueberry plant from flowering the first year if you bought a bigger plant?
Hello! I feel like the consistent recommendations for blueberries are to let them settle in the first year by picking off the flowers to help the plant establish itself for better yields.
I recently bought a much bigger plant and now about the size of my blueberry plants that I let establish for their first year. I plant them on half size wine barrels (thats the only way they survive for me in zone 9B). Should I still pick off the flowers the first year or is it ok to let this new blueberry plant fruit this upcoming season since its a much bigger plant?
