Hi,

I'm in my first year of growing blueberries. I bought 6 plants that were already about two feet high and sent away for 12 plants that were smaller (about a foot high). I've used sulfur and I've mulched heavily and it seems like the plants are doing well, and have started to produce berries.

I've read on a few sites that I should remove blossoms the first few years in order to try to spur growth of the plant. Should I also be removing the berries? If I remove the berries, will the plant grow faster? I'm more interested in accelerating the growth to adulthood and a larger harvest than trying to harvest anything from it this year - anything I get from it this year would be minimal.
