Default Re: Removing Bloom Flower

I cut mine back 4 weeks ago and am running a personal test on fruit development. The one I kept the male flower on still has skinny fruit and all the rest are getting plump.
I cut with about 1 foot of stem remaining then held a candle under it to stop the bleeding. Dug a hole next to tree and stuck the flower in there.
