Title

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Spurs isolated by girdling above and below had lower total fruit weight per spur and weight per fruit than spurs on one side of a girdle.
- Intervention effect Girdling isolation did not change fruit number per spur.
- Intervention effect Fruit from isolated spurs had lower soluble solids and fruit color than fruit from spurs on one side of girdles.
- Observation Fruit above girdles generally had the highest soluble solids and fruit color.
- Intervention effect Spurs below girdles were unaffected by girdling.
- Intervention effect Girdling had no effect on spur leaf net photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, or fruit water loss rate.
- Mechanism The authors infer that spur leaves alone cannot support sweet cherry fruit growth without photosynthates from other sources.
