Trees were sprayed with 0.5 mM, 1.0 mM acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), while control trees were unsprayed. Measurements were made 2 days before the first commercial harvest in 2011 and 2012. Means followed with the same lower case letters are not significantly different at P < 0.05 across spraying treatments, and with capital letters across S- and N-side positions in the canopy.
