Motivated by our interest in applying techniques of dimensional analysis (DA) to statistical modelling of physical phenomena, we investigated the well-known cherry tree data set (usually referred to as the ‘Minitab cherry tree data’). After researching the forestry literature, our investigation led us down many interesting paths, including the origin of the data, and examining a number of modelling approaches that have been published. Using DA leads to a simple and elegant model, which leads to previously overlooked insights for this data.
