Dave, sounds to me like it's what's known as a bush, or determinate plant. These are usually relatively small. I wouldn't be taking any buds off if it is a determinate because that's one lot of fruit less. It's different for the large vining types, or indeterminates. They just keep growing more branches.
Just my opinion.

thanks for that Ray... when you think about it you are right if thay only get to a meter thay need all the flowers thay can get, as for determinate or indeterminates sounds like something you get when you get old..... anyway thanks again Dave...
