3. Results and Discussion
Preliminary results on cold tolerance from the first two years of planning indicated some significant differences
between the two varieties and across the two diversely different soil-climate experimental locations [6]. Also, last
year’s preliminary first yield data evaluation showed numerical differences only differences for the two varieties [7].
The yield was very small in this year , ranging from 0 to 700 g/tree) and therefore can not be considered for evaluation. It is expected that this season’s yield data will be significant to establish reliable relationships with
measured variables in the soil-plant system.
New measurements were taken recently (March 2013) with the GreenSeeker
