Default Re: blue java flaging in zone 7!!!

Very nice!!! If I am worried they won't fill in time I do some pruning!! I leave 1 finger on the bottom hand (so sap will still flow) but I cut a few complete hands above it off!! By doing this more energy will go into the remaining hands! So they will end up filled larger and faster! It works for me! Better to sacrifice 2 hands to harvest the rest vs loosing them all. My blue java bunch is about the same age a size yours. It had 9 hands!! Very nice bunch!! I pruned 2 hands. I'll post it all around harvest time.

Congrats man! 3 flowers is awesome!! Let us know how you like both when you taste them!!!
