Least squares means of predicted trunk movement by pruning type and wind speed.

↵zAverage trunk movement predicted from regression models in Table 1.
↵yPruning types: LT = lion’s tailing; RA = raising; RE = reducing; ST = structural; TH = thinning.
↵xWind speed at which trunk movement was predicted from regression models.
↵wMeans in a column with different letters are significantly different (P < 0.001) from each other.
NS = not significant; there were no differences within that column.
