Effects of fruiting and CO₂ treatment on number of leaves per shoot, individual leaf area and leaf dry mass per area (LMA) from non-fruiting and fruiting shoots sampled on 8 September 2009

Shoot type	No. of leaves per shoot	Leaf area (m2 × 10−4)	LMA (g m−2)
Ambient CO2
Non-fruiting	3·2 ± 0·2	7·88 ± 0·56	85·59 ± 5·98
Fruiting	4·7 ± 0·2	8·52 ± 0·51	96·83 ± 6·81
Elevated CO2
Non-fruiting	3·3 ± 0·3	9·18 ± 1·57	100·66 ± 9·97
Fruiting	4·5 ± 0·2	10·30 ± 1·69	107·57 ± 7·48

Values shown are the means ± s.e. from four trees exposed to ambient CO₂ and three trees previously exposed to elevated CO₂. The results of the statistical analyses are shown in Table 1.
