management technique might be to prune the plants to the ground each spring, perhaps most efficiently with a motorized or tractor-mounted sickle bar cutter. Well-established plants managed in this manner should produce good yields annually while maintaining

entered the market as edible oil, its seed yield is very low under the current planting pattern. Consequently, high-yield and high-quality large-scale planting of P. ostii has not yet occurred. Seed yield traits, oil yield, and fatty acid compositions

increased yields and profitability compared with the performance of plants grown outdoors. Greater production was usually associated with earlier cropping, and protection from frosts and rain. There was generally less grey mold in the fruit grown under
