Re: 2nd flag leaf on ice cream clump
The best way to fruit in a container would be to remove all suckers as soon as they are coming up. This way, when they are small you do not have to disturb the root system as much, and by removing all of the suckers you will direct all of the energy to the one fruiting shoot. The problem with fruiting normally large varieties in containers is that even though they may be able to fruit, they may not be able to fill out the fruit properly.
If I were going to try to fruit a large variety in a container, I would keep it to just one shoot and remove all suckers.
