Anthers were removed from flowers of five inflorescences on a floral branch. Visitation rates of pollinators to these flowers were compared to flowers of five inflorescences left intact on the same branch. No differences in visitation rate were observed probably due to close proximity of flowers without anthers to flowers with anthers. Differences would probably be observed if visitation rates and fruit set were compared on portions of the crown or whole trees with and without anthers in pistillate flowers.
