Tea tree growth temperature

The most suitable growth temperature for tea trees is around 18-25℃, and the ground temperature should be above 10℃. The plant has a certain degree of cold resistance and can withstand temperatures as low as -10℃, but cannot live in ground temperature for a long time.

Tea tree growth cycle and process

The peak growing season for tea trees is in spring and summer. The plants begin to sprout in March, and after about 4-5 months, they will finish the seedling stage, and then grow flowers and fruits until the first natural renewal stops. This period takes 30-40 years.
