When will the tea tree blossom and bear fruit?

Tea seed is the fruit formed by pollination, growth and maturity after flowering. However, tea seeds are divided into camellia seeds and tea tree seeds, which can not only extract the tea oil as edible, but also grind the remaining tea residue into powder to make natural tea seed powder. when does the tea tree blossom and bear fruit?

The growth of tea tree shows "root-shoot alternating" growth because of the balanced demand for carbohydrates in roots and shoots. The more developed the root system, the better the growth of tea trees. Among them, the root system of large-leaf tea in Yunnan is more developed than that of small and medium-sized leaf species, and in different seasons, due to the influence of climate, soil, water and other factors, the growth of tea is different.

The root of tea tree is the vegetative organ of tea tree. Why the older the tea tree is, the richer the tea is, which is closely related to its root system. The older the tea tree is, the more developed its root system is and the more nutrients it absorbs from the deep soil, which provides rich nutrients for the growth of tea trees. The tea trees with good growth, such as those in Jingmai Mountain for 500 years or more, show a sense of sweetness and sweetness after their fresh leaves are made into tea, while autumn tea shows a sense of high fragrance and sweetness.

The flowering period of tea trees is from the beginning to the end, which takes a long time, usually 7 or 8 months. It takes one month for flower buds to grow and differentiate to take shape from June, that is, June and July, which is the period of flower bud formation. The peak period of flowering is from late October to mid-late November, and the flowering period usually ends in late December. However, the flowering time of tea trees is affected by tree species and climate. Big-leaf species blossom later than small-leaf species. In case of cold wave, they will blossom earlier. At the same time, they will bloom earlier in short-day weather.

After flowering, camellias, fertilized by pollen, continue to grow and bear fruit. The growth and ripening time of tea fruit is about 18 months. the tea fruit is green when it is not ripe, brown and reddish brown after maturity, and presents brown tea seeds after the peel is cracked. It can be used to extract oil for consumption. Tea seed oil has the effects of regulating blood pressure, reducing blood lipids and antioxidation. It is an ideal dietotherapy product for people suffering from cardiovascular diseases.

During the flowering and fruiting period, the root system and treetop growth of tea trees show different states. The peak period of root growth is from the end of June to the beginning of July and from the middle of October to the end of November. During this period, the root system saves rich nutrients for the growth of tea trees. Treetops grow from August to September, also known as autumn. With the growth of the treetops, the buds began to germinate, and the buds grew up in October and November, and the buds with better quality were picked to make autumn tea. After November, in December, the temperature was low and there were no new shoots on the top of tea trees. at the same time, some of the nutrients produced by tea photosynthesis were stored in thick stems and partly transported to tree roots to promote root growth. When the weather warms up, after a few patches of spring rain, the new shoots grow, accompanied by the germination of buds and leaves, that is, spring tea.

To sum up, the growth of tea plant is a periodic process, and its root, stem, leaf, flower and fruit grow at different times. The tea plant blossoms from the beginning of June to the end of December, accompanied by the growth and maturity of the tea fruit, and the earlier camellias begin to bear fruit in the middle of October. When the fruit is ripe, peel off the pericarp, leaving brown tea seeds. It is used to extract tea seed oil for human consumption, and the tea residue after pressing the tea seed oil can be ground into powder to make tea seed powder as a natural detergent.
