Did you have any difficulties in implementing your sampling strategy? If yes, what were these difficulties?
Some of the difficulties I faced were when measuring the size of the olives, due to their small size, which made it time consuming. Also had to keep track of each of these fruits and branches to not get affected by birds or other species in the area. Another difficulty was determining the number of samples to take from each location and also finding the right amount of data (replicates) to collect, enough to be useful.
Was the data that you collected surprising in any way?
The data collected was not surprising since I predicted that fruits would grow faster in areas with more sunlight.
Do you plan to continue to collect data using the same technique, or do you need to modify your approach?
I will continue to use the same method to collect my data.
