Eight trees of similar size and condition were not injected but served as controls. During the 1990 and 1991 growing seasons, significant reductions in leaf mass, current-year stem mass, and current-year stem length in both upper and lower canopy branches occurred with Cutless injection. The longest shoots on injected trees showed 72 - 88\% reduction in mean length when compared to control trees. A random sample of shoots (30 per branch) from injected trees also showed 80 - 82\% reduction in mean length. Injected trees had variable response and gaunt appearance.}, issn = {1935-5297}, URL = {https://auf.isa-arbor.com/content/18/2/69}, eprint = {https://auf.isa-arbor.com/content/18/2/69.full.pdf}, journal = {Arboriculture \& Urban Forestry (AUF)} }
