Pruning Methods and Technical Points for Aging Tea Plants

Growing Techniques 0 views
1. Heavy pruning: Heavy pruning is suitable for semi-aged tea plants and for tea plants that decline before their time; their age is not necessarily very great, and most main branches still retain a certain capacity for growth. For such tea plants, heavy pruning can be carried out to renew and rejuvenate them, generally cutting away 1/3 to 1/2 of the canopy. 2. Frame cutting: For very aged tea plants, even increased fertilizer application can hardly raise yields. Such tea plants are better renewed by frame cutting, that is, around Great Cold (Major Cold) sawing (or cutting) off all branches and trunks at a height of about 15 cm above the ground and regrowing the bush. Tea plants subjected to frame cutting or heavy pruning should all be treated on the basis of deep plowing and sufficient basal fertilizer.
