Narrow-sense heritability (± standard errors) of each trait is on the diagonal (in bold), above the diagonal is genetic correlation (± standard errors) and below the diagonal is phenotypic correlations (± standard errors) in italics. Traits are start flowering week in 2012 and 2014, end of flowering week in 2012 and 2014, duration of flowering in 2012 and 2014, foliar cineole concentration by weight, ln (dry biomass) of the pre-thinned orchard as measured in 2004 and ln (dry biomass) of post-thinned seed orchard as measured in 2014.
