Illustration of the three potential axillary meristem fates.

Between-species (n = 22) relationships for mean single leaf dry mass (a, c, e), and for mean leafing intensity (b, d, f)—both recorded from control plants—versus relative mean values (under treatment [T] versus control [C] conditions) for fecundity (a, b), total bud bank (c, d) and total vegetative dry mass (e, f), respectively.

No evidence of a generalized potential ‘cost’ of apical dominance for species that have strong apical dominance
