Tea Plant
(aka Camellia sinensis)
Location:
I am native to the southern parts of China, Japan and Korea.
Looks:
I am an evergreen shrub, with glossy serrated leaves.
Height:
I can grow to 4M high.
Environment:
I like moist, acidic soil, in sun or ideally part shade. I like good circulation of air around my leaves.
Flowers:
I produce small, white, scented flowers in Autumn.
Grooming:
My leaves have a tendency to develop brow edges over winter, this will not affect the new growth.
Life Span:
I am a slow growing and long living plant.
Feeding:
I like to be kept moist, with good circulation.
Fact:
Tea is grown throughout the world and each region's teas have distinct flavour profiles. This is known as terroir.
