This question is asked too broadly, the oil tea varieties are different, fruiting time can vary by 2-3 years.

Now cultivated some of the dwarf new varieties, live seedlings hanging fruit are only 3 years, 5-6 years can be productive, fast 2-year seedlings, in the nursery began to hang fruit.

But in general (especially large fruits), live seedlings bloom in about 4-5 years, grafted seedlings, cuttings 2 years to bloom, hanging fruit needs about 3-4 years, two-year seedlings grafted, hanging fruit is estimated to need 2-3 years.

Here is a brief introduction:

The oil tea is an evergreen tree or shrub in the genus Camellia of the family Camelliaceae, also known as the winter-resistant flowers, birthday tea.

Looking at the botanical definition, there are two kinds of trees and shrubs, two kinds of flowering and fruiting time, in natural conditions there are differences.

By the early and late ripening of tea fruits, can be divided into: cold dew species, frost species and winter species and other species types.

Cold dew species: early flowering, conducive to insect pollination, high fruiting rate. Plants are generally smaller, the fruit matures in early October, is an early variety, fruit small skin thin, each fruit contains 1-3 seeds, seed rate and oil yield are higher.

Frostbite species: mature around frostbite, the Department of medium maturity varieties. The plants are generally medium, the fruits are large and thick-skinned, each fruit contains 3-9 seeds, and the seed yield and oil yield are medium.

Lidong seed: fruit ripening in early November, the Department of late-maturing varieties. The variety of tall plants, cold, shade and humidity, thick skin, often angular. Each fruit contains 4-10 seeds, seed rate and oil rate is low.

By the size of the tea fruit, can be divided into: large fruit, medium fruit and small fruit oil tea.

Large fruit oil tea representative: Vietnam oil tea. Guangxi, Guangdong, the main plant.

Middle fruit oil tea, also known as ordinary oil tea, listen to the name to know the most planted. Guangxi, Sichuan, Zhejiang, Anhui and other places are planted.

Small fruit oil tea, also known as Jiangxi Zi oil tea, planted area in China is second only to the ordinary oil tea, mainly distributed in Guangxi, Fujian, Jiangxi and other places.

But people may prefer by fruit type: green ball, red ball, red peach, green peach, green orange and so on.

About the purpose of oil tea planting, we are most familiar with the oil tea tree seed harvesting, to obtain the seed kernel extraction of oil consumption; followed by ornamental greening. In fact, the tall oil tea tree has soil and water holding forest, the role of water conservation forest, and the oil tea tree is not easy to burn, can play the role of fire prevention forest.
