Seems to remember having read that the flower should be cut off once it has stopped producing new hands but at the same time I dont really see why so I am looking for some advice on this.
Thanks

I believe Gabe posted previously about a study that looked into whether cutting off the flower made any difference in fruit size or time to mature. It didn't. Keeping it on can help in identification. Since I read that, I just leave them all on. They're pretty and I can often get a taste of nectar from the male flowers when I'm out in the yard.
