Leaf removal and terminal bud size affect the fruiting habits of cranberry
1994
Patten, K.D. | Wang, J.
Percentage of fruiting uprights, fruit set, number of fruit per upright, and flower bud formation of 'McFarlin' and 'Stevens' cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.) were reduced by removal of old leaves, new leaves, or both on the upright. Results varied slightly based on which leaves were removed, time of removal, cultivar, year, and bog site. Percentage of fruiting uprights, flowers and fruit per upright, and fruit set were higher on uprights with a terminal bud size > 1 mm in diameter in September than for those < 1 mm in diameter. Effects were cultivar site dependent. Terminal bud size of 'McFarlin' was negatively related to the subtending number of fruit and positively related to leaf fresh weight of the upright.
