↵z See Table 1 for descriptions. Trees in #3, #15, and #45 containers for 7, 9, and 15 months, respectively.
↵y Means in a column with a different letter are statistically different at P < 0.05; n = 48 for #3, 36 for #15, and 20 for #45 containers, averaged across root pruning due to insignificant interaction (P > 0.31).
