lamento - the common knowledge (at least to me) on this forum is that
you don't trim the flower stalks off as that will only make the plant re-flower.
The usual practice is to remove the flower stalks after they have set BB to
pea-sized fruit.
The other common advice is actually the growers choice...which is:
If you let it hold fruit at the size it is at now,it will most likely slow down growth
of the plant in order to take care of the ripening fruit, at least until it is removed from
the tree. So....your "choice" is to enjoy a fruit or two knowing the growth of the
tree will probably suffer, or cut them all off and let the tree continue to grow and
strengthen for future, more bounteous fruit enjoyment.
It's a dilemma many of us have faced and made various decisions over with mixed
results. So there ya go, partner!
Go Chisox!
