I am removing flowers by hand this year to promote scaffolding growth. When I see a flower that is protruding from the bud (before it is open), I grab the whole bud and pull it off. I started to wonder if this is in any way harmful to my goal of scaffold growth. Is there a "right time" and "right way" to manually remove flowers? I'm not looking to grow any fruit this year just scaffolding.
Thanks, Rye Hefley So Cal _______________________________________________ apple-crop mailing list apple-crop@virtualorchard.net http://virtualorchard.net/mailman/listinfo/apple-crop
