I was wondering whether you could email me a copy of the tea pruning guide. I was given a paper copy some time ago and have since misplaced it. Regards, David From: SALISBURY QLD

Extremely sensitive to salt. I killed 4 of my 9 plants by mulching with seaweed. | Bronwyn Dunn - Denhams Beach, NSW 14-Oct-2009

Tea Plant (Seedling) ^5/10

Jane16's Edible Fruits

Comments: - When I transplanted it, I accidentally damaged most of the roots. Also, the next 3 days after it was transplanted was 35C plus. It was been watered daily and placed into low sun for 1 day (shade most of the day, maybe 1-2hours of full sun). I then moved it into the bathroom where it has been for the past few days. It's now receiving filtered light for most of the day. It's really struggling right now, the leaves are all droopy. But there looks like there might be some new growth so fingers crossed...
