What are most opinions here on blossoms for young determinate and indeterminate plants. Currently have both det. and indet. plants w/ blossoms shortly after transplant. The dwarf varieties (new big, tas. choc., and rosella pur.) are around 1 foot and others around 2 feet. Should I pinch them to allow the plant to devote more energy into plant vigor and size or allow them to opportunity to come to fruition, which may stunt/slow overall plant growth?
