Table 1.

Frequencies of shoot occurrence (survival) and flowering in the second (2004) and third (2005) years of the fruit manupulation (control, fruit shading and fruit removal) and defoliation (intact, one-third leaf-cutting and two-thirds leaf-cutting) experiments

			Survival (%)		Flowering (%)
Fruit manipulation	Defoliation	n	2004*	2005*	2004*	2005†
Control	Intact	15	100	100	93	60
	1/3-cut	15	93	80	80	53

	2/3-cut	15	100	87	87	40

* There are no significant differences in survival (both years) and flowering occurrence in 2004 by logistic regression.

^† Flowering occurrence in 2005 is negatively correlated to defoliation (P = 0·053) and positively correlated to stem diameter in the previous year (P = 0·0051) by logistic regression.

^‡ n = 13 in 2005 because tags of two plants were missing.
