Regarding the average fruits number per plant, in the case of the lateral shoots, there was registered a small
increase at V1 (85.1 fruits) and at the others variants no differences revealed (V2-78.1 fruits; V3-68 fruits).
The average fruits number per node, yield/plant/square meter and average fruits weight have had small variation,
but they remained in a closely values range. Thus, the mean fruits number on a nod have been between 1.5 (V3) and
1.7 (V2), while at V1 there was obtained only 1.6 fruits are present on a node.
The production have been nearly to the hybrid Mirabelle F1 yield potential, obtaining 4.5-5.6 kg/plant and 9-11
kg/m2. However, as we can see, at V2 and V3, where shoots removal have been done at 1 m and 1.2 m, yield was
lower. The fruits have been harvested only from the main stem (Table 4). Average fruit weight was maintained in a
narrow range, 66 to 67 g.
