the following spring (D.R. Bryla and B.C. Strik, unpublished data). Nutrient partitioning varied considerably among elements due to different nutrient concentrations and requirements in each plant part. This difference not only affected the proportion
-field variations in plant-available soil N are affected by differences in soil characteristics, they are hard to predict from readily mapped variables. Delin and Lindén (2002) found large variations in net N mineralization (Nm) both within field and between years
; Stapleton et al., 2001 ). The temperatures in these northern areas are up to 10 °C lower than those in Florida during the 6 to 8 weeks before the plants are dug ( Chandler et al., 1989 ). There are also differences in photoperiod among the different nursery
There is increased interest among ornamental plant growers to identify native shrubs that can be produced commercially for the nursery and landscape industry. Native shrubs must propagate readily from stem cuttings because this method yields uniform
(version 9.3; SAS Institute, Cary, NC). Comparisons of means among treatments were conducted using Fisher’s least significant difference test at P < 0.05. Results Plant Growth. No significant differences in plant height or PGI were seen among containers

. Yield loss due to anthrac-nose on fruits. There were no significant differences in percentage yield loss caused by anthracnose fruit rot among all the treatments in each of the three plantings (data not shown). Yield loss ranged from 3% to 16% in Summer
( Decoteau et al., 1988 ; Fortnum et al., 2000 ). These growth measurements often do not account for biomass distribution differences that may be occurring among plant parts at individual nodes that contribute to overall shape and structure of the crop
) were read at ≈1000 hr each day. Using 19% moisture as the target value after watering, an amount of water corresponding to the difference from the average measurement was supplied to each pot just after the reading (maximum 1250 mL). Plants were
. Native American tribes used many parts of the juneberry plant and the fruit was considered a staple ( St-Pierre, 2005 ). The pome contains several desirable nutrients and phytochemicals. Flavonols, anthocyanins, and phenolics are desirable nutrients known
