  • 1 Average # of injection sites in TBZ-treated trees where the standard error of the mean is in parentheses.

  • 2 Average # of injection sites that showed exterior crack in TBZ-treated trees where the standard error of the mean is in parentheses.

  • 3 Average # of injection sites that showed exterior fluxing in TBZ-treated trees where the standard error of the mean is in parentheses.

  • 4 Average consensus wound closure rating, where 1 = injection sites not closing, 2 = injection sites actively closing, and 3 = injection sites fully closed. The standard error of the mean is in parentheses.
