  1. Proportion flowering was arcsine-transformed. Tukey’s tests were performed to determine the difference between provenances by year interaction, means that are similar have the same letter at α = 0.05 significance level (Sig). Provenances are: DUM Dumbleyung, LGR Lake Grace, COO Coolgardie, GOG Goongarrie, NOR Norseman, NAR Narembeen, SNC Southern Cross, TYG Trayning, WES Westonia.
