“…The sixth trait, ripe fruit production per node, did not increase in response to standard flower removal in this study but did increase in response to biased flower removal (Table ). Increases in vegetative mass (Hartemink et al., ; Maust et al., ), leaf area (Karlsson, Andersson, & Svensson, ; Maust et al., , ), fruit ripening rate (Maust et al., , ; Valantin‐Morison, Vaissière, Gary, & Robin, ), and fruit dry mass (Vallius, ) have all been reported in previous flower removal studies. However, we have found no studies besides ours that have reported significant removal effects on proportion node success or fruit titratable acidity.…”
