After Xu Yi woke up and had "breakfast", Xu Yi found pruning shears and a firewood knife and walked towards the small tea garden. These tea trees have been transplanted for so long that they have already regained their growth, and even grown a little taller, and they need to be pruned and shaped.

Xu Yi walked to the edge of the tea tree, looked at the tea trees in front of him and couldn't help nodding secretly, the tea trees were almost one meter tall, even if they were short, they were more than half a meter. The branches and foliage of the tea trees are very luxuriant, especially those shrub-type small-leaf teas, and the lush branches and foliage on the tea trees completely cover the main trunk in the middle.

Of course, because these trees have not been pruned, and they have grown too tall, most of them have already sent out six or seven layers of side branches, if you don't prune again, I am afraid that if you want to prune, a main trunk will grow too thick, I am afraid that this pruning shears can not be used, can only be sawed with a saw. There is also the possibility that the underlying branches and leaves will die and fall off naturally due to lack of light, which undoubtedly makes pruning tea trees very difficult.

If it were to be allowed to grow on its own, the densely planted trees would naturally grow as high as they could, all the way to their limiting height. This will undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble for tea picking, and it will also lead to not being able to pick tea leaves because there are not many side branches at all.

If you want to harvest, you always have to work.

Of course, even if Xu Yi wants to prune, he won't do anything nonsense, he can't take the scissors and imagine by himself, how to cut and how to cut, or like cutting his head, he will smooth out all these branches with a clipper.

Interlacing is like separating mountains, and this planting of tea trees is something that I don't know at all, just like this pruning. You also have to study hard.

Xu Yi has one of the biggest advantages is that he learns if he doesn't understand, rather than pretending to understand. And also have the patience to learn.

In order to plant these tea trees, he checked a lot of information. Only then did I know that even pruning tea trees is still very important.

A tea tree grows from a small seedling to suitable for tea picking, and it needs to be pruned many times and even shaped before it can really start picking tea leaves.

And now, what Xu Yi has to do is just the first stereotyped pruning.

Walking to the side of a tea tree, Xu Yi reached out to open the branch and looked at it carefully, then stretched the scissors to the center of the tea tree, clamped the main trunk of the tea tree, and cut off all the excess trunk and excess side branches on it with a pair of scissors.

It seems to be such a scissor, but in fact, it is not cut randomly. This ensures that the trunk of the tea plants is not too tall, and that there are enough side branches so that the tea plants do not slow down their development due to the lack of above-ground parts, and that they can be accelerated to produce more side branches to form a tree suitable for harvesting.

Xu Yi cut the place less than 20 centimeters from the bottom, close to the top of the side branch below, so that only two side branches growing out to the left and right sides of the trunk remained.

Xu Yi didn't prune the remaining two side branches with scissors, but just plucked off the buds at the top of them to prevent them from growing.

After topping, the side branches will also thicken on their own. Then a large number of side branches are grown, and when the side branches that grow again grow to thirty or forty centimeters, then raise the scissors by ten or twenty centimeters, leaving two or three more side branches on each branch.

In this way, after two more prunings, the shaping and pruning of a tea tree is truly completed. These remaining branches form the backbone of the tea plant. This, combined with proper pruning, can produce a good tea canopy and a more lush harvesting surface.

Only after the harvesting surface has been formed can the tea tree begin to pick the tea leaves.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh secretly. Even if the plants in the space grow relatively quickly, I am afraid that it will take about a month or two before these tea plants can be completely formed and picked. Able to produce the first tea leaves in the space.

Holding the crown of the tree that was almost half a meter high, Xu Yi walked towards the workbench.

Such a well-grown canopy. Xu Yi naturally wouldn't waste it, and he was going to take the side branches on it and the section of the trunk with leaves on the top to take cuttings.

Xu Yi used a firewood knife to cut off all the side branches on the canopy, and then cut them into sections three or four centimeters long, each with a cuttings of leaves and spores on it, put them in a basket, and found an open space to cut them neatly.

As long as these cuttings can survive, and when they grow to a certain extent, they can be transplanted to the edge of the current tea trees, and after repeated several times, they can form a ridge of tea trees that are exactly the same as before.

Even if you need thousands of tea trees for one acre of tea, and then you will prune more and more branches, as long as you do this repeatedly, it won't be long before you can have a large tea garden. Of course, blindly expanding the tea area is not beneficial, and he doesn't know how to process matcha or fry and ferment tea, Xu Yi is only ready to reserve about ten acres of land for planting tea trees for the time being.

Such a small area of tea gardens is really not worth mentioning compared to the tea gardens with hundreds or thousands of acres of tea, and the tea products produced are naturally not so much. But even with such a small area of tea garden, it is not realistic at all if Xu Yi only picks tea by hand.

The time in this space is twenty-four times that of the outside world, there is no doubt that even if spring tea is only picked once a year, twenty-four batches of tea must be picked that year, not to mention summer tea and autumn tea, can this be picked?

If you pick it by hand by yourself, even if you only plant one acre of tea, you are afraid that you don't have to do anything else except picking tea.

In that case, the delay is not a little bit.

You can't soak in the space all day long, so it's better to spend money on real organic tea at a high price, after all, you want food safety issues, and only consider the taste problem on this basis.

Xu Yi is ready to plant so many tea trees, and it naturally has his reasons, and such a small problem of picking tea is not difficult for Xu Yi at all.

In recent years, the use of machinery instead of manpower in labor-intensive industries is an important direction for the development of the world, and the same is true for tea picking.

Of course, in terms of the existing tea picking equipment, whether it is a selective tea picking machine or a non-selective tea picking machine, it is not a tea picking equipment with intelligent control, and it is certainly difficult to ensure the integrity of the buds or leaves and the consistency of the specifications of the tea leaves picked by the picked tea leaves, which is certainly not as good as the tea picked by those high-level skilled tea pickers, but this is always comparable to the quality of the tea picked by those raw hands, not to mention the efficiency.

The tea leaves picked by a tea picker in the same time are equivalent to the picking volume of dozens of skilled tea pickers, which can save much time. (To be continued......)
