Abstract

After rapid growth in spring, twig elongation practically ceased for 12 of 16 browse species. A few species responded to increased moisture and grew through the summer, and two continued on into fall. Most vines died back somewhat in late summer and fall. Five species fruited in the summer, others in the fall.
