At tiny tea garden in Osaka castle park.
I joined a group who takes care of tea trees named Camellia Sinensis for the first time in a while.
The trees seem to grow healthily at first glance, but so many flowers and so many tea fruits on the trees....which is not a good sign. It shows the tree is weak and trying to leave offspring before going to die.
Even so, they look much healthier before now. Hope pruning will help the new buds come out beautifully next spring.
These tea trees are planted as ornamental plants in the park, not for processing. However, tea is tea. I’ve brought some leaves back to home to experiment hand-made Osakan autumnal black tea.
