Our propagating fields are hoed and cultivated repeatedly during the
growing season and all blossoms are removed as fast as they appear. We
remove the blossoms from the everbearers just as late as we possibly
can, but during the fall they blossom so profusely that this would
require a small army. At that time however, they are firmly established
and have a fully developed root and crown system and are therefore not
unfavorably affected by these late blossoms and the few berries which
develop.
