Clove Tree Yields in the Islands of Zanzibar and Pemba

SUMMARYAttention is drawn to the large annual fluctuations of clove yields in Zanzibar and Pemba which appear to result from a synchronization of clove production by trees. Linear regression analyses are presented which show that in years of peak production tree yield is often correlated with tree canopy area and that when trees yield in two consecutive years, yield in the second year is usually negatively correlated with yield in the first year; equations including both variables often leave considerable variation in yield unaccounted for. It is suggested that some of the year to year variation in tree yield may result from an environmental stimulus affecting clove bud differentiation.
