inflorescence is formed at the shoot apical meristem, the AXB can break dormancy. The AXM can then develop into either a branch crown (new compressed shoot section with similar behavior as primary crown, possessing the ability of producing flowers and stolons

, Marion, and Obsidian trailing types and Triple Crown semierect type, were chosen for the study. ‘Black Diamond’ ( Finn et al., 2005a ), a cultivar grown for processed and fresh markets, and ‘Marion’ ( Finn et al., 1997 ), grown predominantly for the

blackberry. Two perennial cultivars of blackberry, Chester Thornless and Triple Crown, were chosen for this study because they are grown by local farmers and have performed well in nearby high tunnel trials ( Yao, 2018 ). Two identical plantings of blackberry

Yields of bare-rooted ‘Festival’ strawberry plants in southeastern Queensland, Australia, were best with a planting in mid-March, with lower yields with earlier or later plantings ( Menzel and Smith, 2011 ). In contrast, large plants with crown

, Takeda et al. (2011) developed a protocol for rooting one-node hardwood cuttings without using intermittent mist in a greenhouse setting. Hardwood cuttings were taken from ‘Siskiyou’ and ‘Triple Crown’ laterals after the canes had undergone an outdoor

Asparagus is an herbaceous perennial in which the above-ground fern senesces, turning yellow in the fall, leaving the crown to overwinter. In southern Ontario, the primary production region within Canada, winter temperatures below –20 °C, early

study, RCCD was used to analyze the interactions among W and N, P, and K fertilizer rate on growth parameters of gesnariad. The objectives of this study were 1) to quantify interactions among W, N, P, and K on plant height, crown diameter, number of

sieve. Plants were then divided into roots, crowns, leaves (including petioles), and fruiting structures (flowers and fruit). The number of crowns was counted, and dry weight of leaves, roots, crowns, and fruiting structures was measured. Feeder root

Crowns of ostrich fern (Matteuccia struthiopteris L. Todaro) were field-planted in June 1993 on a Hadley silt loam in South Deerfield, Mass. Shade cloth was used to alter light intensity to determine if light intensity effects growth and development of fronds and crowns. Light levels were 22% (low), 45% (intermediate), 72% (high), and 100% (full) of ambient conditions. Survival of crowns decreased with increasing light intensity with only 22% survival under full light. Low, intermediate, and high light levels resulted in 89%, 75%, and 56%, respectively, of crowns producing shoots. Light intensity did not effect the number or length of fronds produced. Frond length reached a maximum after 2 months growth. Development of secondary crowns was enhanced at intermediate and high light intensities. Final crown weight was significantly correlated with initial crown weight regardless of light intensity. Crowns will be vernalized and forced hydroponically to determine effects of light intensity and crown size on growth of croziers.
