How to Write


A better written explanation of the results may be:

"In general, bud burst of ‘Ben Hope’s’ Terminal and Top buds was negatively correlated with increasing spring temperature, although this was not significant (Figure 1). Bud burst was lower in the middle and bottom stem sections after exposure to +3.2°C, and although this effect was insignificant, further increasing the temperature to +4.3°C significantly reduced bud burst in both sections."
