TY - JOUR T1 - The Effects of Dormant Branch Thinning on Total Leaf, Shoot, and Root Production From Bare-Root Prunus Cerasifera ‘Newportii’ JF - Arboriculture & Urban Forestry (AUF) JO - JOA SP - 149 LP - 151 DO - 10.48044/jauf.1985.034 VL - 11 IS - 5 AU - Philip S. Evans AU - James E. Klett Y1 - 1985/05/01 UR - http://auf.isa-arbor.com/content/11/5/149.abstract N2 - Dormant branch thinning at planting time did not affect total leaf or new root production, or leaf:new root ratios of two year old, branched, bare-root Prunus cerasifera ‘Newportii.’ Variability in new root production was more than twice that in leaf production; leaf:new root ratio was determined primarily by the magnitude of new root weight. Thinning resulted in increases in the number and lengths of new shoots. Data were taken 100 days after planting. ER -
