Abstract
â¶ 4-year-old Eucalyptus globulus trees were able to tolerate 45% leaf removal. â¶ Trees responded by decreased branch senescence in the lower crown. â¶ Defoliation reduced the concentration of soluble sugars (SS) in foliage of the damaged and newly developed crown. â¶ Decrease in root soluble sugars were only observed in 10-15 diameter class and the rootball.
