Last Updated: 2024/11/22, The whole life period of tea tree is from seed germination to senescence and death. According to the growth and development characteristics of tea plant, it can be divided into four biological age periods, namely: seedling stage, juvenile stage, adult stage and aging period. Seedling stage: from seed germination, seedling unearthed to the formation of standing bud at the end of the first growth, it is the seedling stage. Generally speaking, the seeds began to germinate in March of that year and lasted for about 4-5 months until July. Attention should be paid to keeping the soil loose and moist during the seedling stage, so that enough air can be obtained for seed germination.

Generally speaking, the seeds began to germinate in March of that year and lasted for about 4-5 months until July. At the seedling stage, attention should be paid to keeping the soil loose and moist, so that enough air and water can be obtained for seed germination.

Infancy: from the first growth of tea seedlings to the first gestation of flowers and fruits, this period is called infancy. It usually lasts 2 to 4 years. The physiological function of tea plant is very active in its infancy.

Adulthood: from the first gestation of flowers and fruits to the first natural regeneration of tea trees, it is an adult. This period lasted for about 30-40 years. It was properly managed and the time could be extended. Tea trees grow most vigorously in adulthood, and their production reaches its peak. In adulthood, such as high level of water and fertilizer, good collection and cultivation management, it can generally achieve a sustained high and stable yield of more than 20 to 30 years.

Aging period: from the first natural regeneration of the tea tree to the death of the whole tea tree, it is the aging period. Generally, it is more than ten to a hundred years old.
