Camellia sinensis 'Fairhope Select'

Have you considered growing your own tea? You should! If you can grow an ornamental camellia, you can grow tea. White, green, and black teas all come from the same plant, Camellia sinensis. The differences come from how the leaves are processed.

'Fairhope Select' is a cultivar we're thrilled to offer. We've had one growing for over 10 years here on the farm and can attest to its resiliency. It has thrived despite wind, cold snaps, clay soil, and some sun exposure. A great beginner cultivar!
