Seedlings give variable results and are not favoured by the leading tea gardens of the world.  However, if you wish to grow tea in cold or challenging conditions then seedlings can give a serviceable tea bush. The flavours of seedling tea are variable and will lack the consistency of tea from cuttings but can prove hardier. The inimitable conditions at Tregothnan include centuries of Camellia expertise and selections for taste, hardiness and good Camellia breeding as well as the soil and microclimate. We will select the form of tea bush that we believe has the best chance of thriving in your location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTea Bush Size Guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTea bushes supplied are around 20-30cms tall and around three years old.
