major flush during late Jan. 2005 (approaching a mean of 10 shoots per sample), apparently in response to extensive defoliation incited by Hurricanes Francis (4 Sept. 2004) and Jeanne (25 Sept. 2004) and in conjunction with favorable weather conditions
recorded in 2006 as a result of the effect of two hurricanes occurring during the later part of the summer of 2005, causing a total loss of fruiting the next year and the loss of several trees throughout the plots. Genetic material. Maternal half
