Excellent as a medium-sized hedge with good density and regrowth and will provide numerous cups of Tea. Can also be planted as specimen tree in the garden.

Used for thousands of years by Chinese people till the 17th century, and now Britain has become the world’s greatest tea drinkers. Tea has been linked to cancer prevention and has anti-ageing effects.

The Tea plant prefers a light shade position but can also grow in full sun, protected from the wind (not salt tolerant). It will survive light frosts and likes slightly acidic, well-draining soil (with lots of mulch).
