- Intervention effect First year growth of tissue culture plants was more uniform.
- Intervention effect Fruit size averaged smaller on tissue culture plants.
- Observation Black Satin tissue culture fruit was smaller in both years.
- Observation Dirksen Thornless tissue culture fruit was larger in one year.
