Description
Camellia sinensis ‘Gangwon-Do’ is an exceptionally vigorous and cold hardy selection made from seeds collected from a cold region of Gangwon-do province near the DMZ in South Korea from plants originally sourced from Chiri Mountain. A great cultivar for leaf production and ample harvests. Harvest or ‘pluck’ tea leaves during the warmer months. Select only the top three newly flushing young leaves from the branch tips. Research which method to use to dry and cure your leaves as this will determine which type of tea you get. Tea camellias becomes multi-branched and can reach 6 feet or more tall and wide in 10 years with profuse shoots to harvest from. Or keep shrubs pruned to any size you like.
