Results of a breeding system for 2 years on A. sericifera

Flowering season (year)	Treatment	Number of flowers per treatment	Initiated fruit	%	Initiated fruit that matured	%
2007–08	Cross-pollination	41	16	39.0a	2	13.0
	Self-pollination	39	8	20.5a	0	0

Araujia sericifera was not capable of autonomous self-pollination but was capable of geitonogamy, although out-cross pollination treatments had the highest percentage of successful fertilizations.

Superscript letters and symbols indicate significant differences using two-sample t-tests based on proportions. Different symbols were used for different years to indicate that tests were not done between different years.
