Abstract : Studies were made of the canopy growth and development in multi-storeyed cropping systems involving 13 different fruit crops, in various combinations. The percentage increase in canopy diameter between 24 and 33 months after planting was greatest with coffee (59%), followed by mango (51%), coconut and jackfruit (both 40%). The percentage increases in crop height were much less for most crops.
