Japonicus
Imperial Masterpiece
I didn't realize till last year that the flower buds on my WP's sapped the trees energy.
I've let the flower buds grow on and pollenate each of the last 14 yrs I've had this one JWP
appreciating the colour and never removing a one. Mine are coming into colour but still developing.
Per the videos I've watched on it, before pollen disperses when performing the task, is the best time.
It appears to be quite the tedious task if one had several WPs, I'm down to 2, one EWP, one JWP so
not too bad a chore here, but are there better signals as to the best time to remove than just before pollination?
The longer they're on, the more energy they remove.
