Cover Story: There is little tea (Camellia sinensis) production in the United States due to limited propagation knowledge. We tested time of year for collecting tea cuttings in western Washington, U.S.A., and the section of the shoot and the number of nodes per cutting for successful propagation using cv. Minto Pacific. Tea cuttings were collected from late September through early and were divided into top, middle and bottom sections. After 5 months, survival of was 86% to 97%, and was similar for all shoot sections in year 1 (94%), and was greatest for the top shoot section (93%) in year 2. The survival of one, two and three node cuttings was 100% in year 1 and 87% in year 2. Overall, plant growth was greatest for cuttings collected in early September through late October and for the shoot mid-section, and was similar for all node cuttings. View this paper
