Table 3 Results of least square means analysis of flowering traits, cineole and biomass. F-values and degrees of freedom, in parentheses, for the fixed effects traits (start, end and duration of flowering, proportion flowering, proportion dual flush, foliar cineole concentration and pre- and post-thinning biomass estimates) and the Z-values for the random effects (replicate, column nested within replicate and row nested within replicate) at the Eucalyptus loxophleba seed orchard.
