Table 1 Global models testing the number (NUMB) and biomass (MASS) of epicormic shoots produced according to pruning intensity (1/3 and 2/3 pruning of crown length), clone (1079, 747210, 915319, and DN2), season (fall, spring, and summer), and year (2010, 2011_new, and 2011_old)

  1. Statistically significant values (P < 0.05) are given in bold. The factor year 2010 corresponds to epicormic branches produced in 2010, 2011_new corresponds to epicormic branches produced in 2011, and 2011_old corresponds to epicormic branches produced in 2010 and 2011 and collected at the end of 2011 growing season. NumDF and denDF are the numerator and denominator of degrees of freedom, respectively
