After rewatering, the number of new
shoots and their lengths and numbers of
inflorescence were monitored. The flowering
period was recorded from when inflorescence
emerged until the end of flowering. Inflorescence
types were classified into five main types
according to Moss (1969). The number of
inflorescence per tree and number of flowers per
inflorescence were counted at 15 d after rewatering
until the end of flowering and expressed as an
average.
