- Intervention effect Tent covers tended to reduce fruit diameter.
- Intervention effect Tent covers increased soluble solids concentration on one occasion.
- Intervention effect Tent covers increased fruit firmness on one occasion.
- Intervention effect Fruit reduced trunk growth more than covers did.
- Intervention effect Covers did not change trunk growth in fruiting trees.
- Intervention effect Covers reduced trunk growth in defruited trees.
- Intervention effect Specific leaf weight was lower in fruiting than defruited trees in one experiment.
- Intervention effect Fruiting increased foliar N, P and Ca.
- Intervention effect Fruiting increased foliar Mg.

- Intervention effect On a leaf-area basis, K was lower in cropping trees.
- Intervention effect On a leaf-area basis, other nutrients remained mostly unchanged in cropping trees.
- Intervention effect Tent covers generally lowered foliar N, P and K.
