I purposefully mindlessly remove them every now and then to see if I can tell where I took them off later when I sit down with the tree.
To see if the area becomes an eyesore.
Haven't noted anything of significance, but I am still a couple years away from organizing tiny details like that, so I haven't been looking hard.
They seem to grow quick and abundantly during both growing times.
I'll probly remove them in the end, since they will be pumpkins in an apple tree as far as scale goes for most of these little trees.
However, I do fancy the thought of a literati with a bunch of berries. I think it could be interesting.
