Yeah. Pruning is go-oood...Salsero wrote:I am not sure it is wise to expose us to such splendor. Aren't you tempted to just pluck a little here and there ... you know ... for the health of the plant.

Wow great!! Thanks for those! I just bought some seeds myself and just to be sure I bought a seedling too. They should be arriving any day, I'm so excited.

But really, haven't we all found some tea seeds in our puer? I know that I have, especially the autumn batches. I pick seeds whenever I am in Japan, they really are so very cute. This was last autumn: [/img]img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3144/290 ... c1.jpg?v=0">
...um, no idea how to make an image work...
Help?

You have too many commands
- one img in brackets to start - then / to close:
You can also hit "quote' of a person with a picture and see how they did it.
I learned a lot that way!
(oh and nothing can follow after .jpg
I had to trim your link)

Thanks! Well I have warm climate here in So California, so I'llshogun89 wrote:GeekGirl-I cant believe you gave away that plant!!!!!!
and Victoria-tea seeds are very hard to get to germinate and can take about 2 months as well. If you ever need help, dont hesitate to ask.
The flowers on these plants smell AMAZING!
give the seeds a go. But knowing my lack of patience,
I bought a seedling too.
I think we all just want these plants because they are related to our
love of tea. I doubt any of us are serioulsy wanting to process and
drink them. They are beautiful to look at, and a beautiful fragrance is
just another plus!

I am most defiantly processing mine. I had a hail storm over the summer ( nickel sized) which knocked a few leaves of before I got the plants under cover, any way I crushed them then let them sit to oxidize for a day and then dried them further in the oven. I was left with actually not a half bad cup, that tasted like a bitter green. This is understandable because the leaves were like 3 months old. My plants are about 1 and a half years old. two more years to go!!!Victoria wrote:Thanks!
