- Tea Plant - Camellia sinensis - In this video I go over Tea Plants. I have had this one for a year and it needs a larger container. I am going to get a few more varieties this next spring and I will show those as well. I really don't know a lot about tea farming, but I have grown tea plants for sale for a long time.

I use to flip about pests but now I get excited to see what kind of beneficial predators join the party.
Yes its a micro jungle of life in the garden if you dont do like everbody else does and nuke it with toxic chemicals
Subbed and I love all of your videos. Thank you for what you do!
Had no idea they are the 2 beverage plant. Very cool.
Kudos for mentioning the Tea scale bugs. None of the videos I’ve watched mentioned them. What a plant can be infested with should be at the top of the priority list on CZcams videos. Like my Basil. No one ever mentions the scale bugs that infest it and build these little hard shell nests up and down the skin. It looks gross. But man do I wish someone informed me about them and how to get rid of them.
The tea scale insects look like white fly.
How do you get rid of them?
Boils onions together with garlic and spray with there water
Good video!
Very good one
Excellent thank you very informative 😃
Having successfully grown tea in zone 7 ( you must winterize it here) my biggest shock was the feeling of being lied to and cheated my entire life on what tea is. I was actually angry about it. Fresh tea is a whole other level. Compare a tootsie roll to a bar of fine chocolate and thats the difference. Not even close to the same thing and fresh is way way better
Just bought one for my state of Georgia. Hope it does well
Must get on building a greenhouse.... Tea doesn't mind being a container plant for its whole life, correct? Being Zone 5 always seems to inspire creative gardening. lol Thanks for the video Jim! xx
Very informative. I’ve got a few plants I’ve been growing outside now for several years (zone 6b, east of Cincinnati), though they have been slow to gain size; they are still rather short. I grew them from seed, purchased online from S. Korea. My own plants bloom and seed freely each year now, and they germinate quite easily. I’ve not harvested them for tea yet since I’d prefer not to stunt them but I might try a little this season just for curiosity sake.
I'm curious if you give yours any winter protection. I just bought the cultivar Sochi and I'm gonna try it in zone 6a with some winter protection. Dirr says they're the hardiest of all camellia species and hardy to zone 6?
It actually encourages new growth by harvesting them
1:50 say hi to the spider!
North Carolina yeyeyeyeaah!
❤
I thought I was listening to Danny McBride talk about tea for a minute
You said it could be a tree, so would you prune the trunk? It’s very beautiful. I’m going to look this one up. Thanks for sharing. 👏🏻👏🏻
do you have any videos on harvesting and making tea with the leaves sir?
Anyone else notice the Green spider at 1:53 at the bottom of the screen on the leaf
I just got a new tea plant, and it has a lot of buds. Would it harm the plant if i left those on or should i take them off?
👍
Very informative! Do you think it will do well in zone 9b Northern California outside?
Thanks😊
I’m gettin one in Zone 9b Phoenix AZ.
Can i grow the plant as outdoor on the ground in the zone 7
👋😃
Sir green tee plant?
Хаммаси жуда кизикарли канийди менга хам чой кучатларидан Бир нечтасини совга килсангиз эди
Are there any fragrant tea plant varieties that would bloom in zone 6 Kentucky? Thank you
You can grow them in containers and then winter protect them in a cold frame
Thanks! Good luck with your move and I hope Holly likes her new home!🐕
Thank you. She has been fine so far. I think her bigger concern is that I left for several days to travel. She usually comes with me, but she is 11 now.
how to protect from tea scale i think my tea plant has tea scales it is dropping all leaves
Try neem oil weekly. The plant may not like its location though. When my plants get scale, spider mites, severe aphid infestations...I know the plant is struggling.
Pests are a soil problem. Gotta lower PH or move it to a better spot like he says.
Where can I get this plant? No one has it!
How do you get rid of Bermuda grass? Trying to cheap into my flowerbed!
Look up "tenacity" it's a liquid. It may be what you need
You just gotta rip it out. It starves trying to regenerate. Those Non Biodegradable Herbicide Toxins are the cancer of modern times.
I'm in Beaumont Texas about an hour from Galveston and never even heard of a green tee farm around here. A fast Google search shows 0 tea farms or farmers growing tea trees. Only 2 in Louisiana.
They are starting a huge one in Mississippi right now. Quite a bit of the same climatic conditions as Beaumont has.
Can you make tea with Camellia sasanqua?
Good for capsule
Disagree on the zone hardiness. Beautiful huge bush in 7A. No problems.
Bit disappointed ...... I was hoping this video would explain how to get started.
Like with A. S E E D ?
INDIA IS THE HEAVEN FOR TEA
Yes it is. Camelia Assamica is happiest there but isnt EVERY plant in that true paradise?
