First of all, there are wildly grown trees in the jungle, then there are trees planted many years ago and now surviving in the wild with no human care. Then there are trees grown by families near village housings, the kind that just exist for generations as a tree by the house. Picking leaves from those trees are just for family uses. Then there is the true cultivation tea plants in the masses for economic purpose. The old trees survived are usually the first 3 types. There are no precise documentation of which tree is the oldest at this time since China tea producing area is so wide and the history is so long, many areas are not even tapped in for study, especially in the wild jungle. What ever text claim the oldest tree is just bogus. There are only old tree, oldest in one region, but not the oldest in the country or world.

I've been told in China and read multiple times that the oldest cultivated tea tree is the 800 year-old tree on Mount Nannuo in Yunnan. Does this mean that 900 year-old tree on WuDong is uncultivated?Sergeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305204762957025103noreply@blogger.com
