Camellia sinensis 'Christine's Choice'

Selected from our Tea Garden by Christine Parks, this cultivar has beautifully dark green leaves that tend towards the long and narrow.  Abundantly branching, 'Christine's Choice' delivers ample shoots to harvest from. This is one of the seedlings from a batch of seeds purchased from China with source information. Not one of the most cold hardy cultivars although an established plant survived 3F with only leaf damage.  This cultivar usually produces a heavy crop seeds. A Camellia Forest introduction.
