- Observation No E. dregei seedlings survived a month in the field.
- Observation One year after 78 living E. dregei were removed, 68 new plants appeared, probably by resprouting.
- Mechanism New recruits on branches of the stated sizes may reflect resprouting rather than seed recruitment.
- Association Absolute woodrose growth rate increased linearly with size and was greatest in the first six months.
- Association Relative growth rates declined with woodrose size.
- Observation A 10 cm woodrose was estimated to be 40 ± 25 years old.
- Observation A 25 cm woodrose was estimated to be 56 ± 35 years old.
- Recommendation Slow woodrose growth should inform sustainable harvest limits.
