Three-dimensional characterization of bearing pecan tree.
1992
Lozano Gonzalez R. | Storey J.B. | Harris M.K.
Three-dimensional leaf and fruit distribution was studied in a 26-year-old 'Success' pecan tree [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch]. The tree was typical of the trees in this orchard and typical of thousands of hectares of mature pecan trees growing in a crowded condition. There are fewer leaves and fruit in the lower and central canopy than in the rest of the tree. To obtain an adequate sample, measurements should be taken from branches arising at a height greater than or equal to 4.75 m and from 1.9 m from the center of the tree trunk to the edge of the canopy around the trees. Fruit could be sampled from branches arising at greater than or equal to 3.76 m from the ground and from 3.37 m from the center of the tree trunk to the edge of the canopy around the tree.
