- Observation Mean female reproduction biomass was 16 times male reproduction biomass.
- Observation Male foliage biomass exceeded female foliage biomass without a significant difference.
- Observation Shrub flower and reproductive biomass and diameter increment differed significantly by sex.
- Observation Shrub foliage biomass did not differ significantly by sex.
- Association DBH size correlated positively with flower and reproductive and foliage biomass and diameter increment.
- Observation Female shrub flower biomass was 1.6 times male biomass.
- Observation Female shrub reproductive biomass was 1.93 times male biomass.
- Observation Female diameter increment exceeded male diameter increment by 3.04.
- Observation Males began flowering earlier than females, on 25 May versus 28 May.
