I would never consider pulling blossoms. Those things have a lot of blossoms and it would be like knitting a quilt. Tedious and time consuming. Depending on cultivar bloom to picking takes a week to 10 days. Some cultivars hold better than others so you have about a week as a window to pick them. Bush cultivars typically have about two blossom sets. There are a few that tend to be more everbearing, but most set a crop and get out of the way.
