Blog Post # 8: Tables and Graphs

There was no difficulty organizing my data, although I had to decide if it would be best to do a bar graph or a line graph. In the end I went with a bar graph as that was the most familiar graph for me. The outcome was actually not quite as I had expected. I had initially assumed there would be more fruit on the plum tree as opposed to the other two trees but that did not seem to be the case here. In considering water stress alone, one might think that the idea of drought affecting fruit growth negatively is utterly untrue. That is why I chose to do further research on why these results were not what I had predicted and came across a few interesting explanations. Below is a table of all the weeks I counted fruit. The dashes under the Cherry Tree mean that during the 6th-12th week, there was no fruit on the tree as it had finished its harvest point.
