- Observation Fruit number varied between years with biennial bearing in both trials.

- Intervention effect Combined PBZ and GA reversed the PBZ effect on total fruit number.
- Intervention effect PBZ plus GA reduced bienniality for two years.
- Intervention effect GA after PBZ was most effective in reducing biennial bearing index values.
- Intervention effect PBZ did not affect mean fruit weight.
