Table 1.--Mean spruce budw<strong>or</strong>m perf<strong>or</strong>mance (female equivalents) on balsam fir in 1989 on early, middle and late<br />

phenology trees (main plots) and flowering and nonflowering branches (subplots). Means varying significantly<br />

(p < 0.05) among main effects have different letters. F<strong>or</strong> coh<strong>or</strong>t one, mean survival was effected by flowering<br />

and by,the flowering x phenology interaction. F<strong>or</strong> coh<strong>or</strong>t two, mean survival was affected by flowering.<br />
