![]() The cuttings also rooted readily in March by this method. Being covered with vinyl film from autumn to the following April, the cuttings developed into good saplings. In autumn, however, it was early October. In summer the optimum planting time of cuttings was considered to be late May after the first harvesting period. Such cuttings rooted readily and developed rapidly. Where possible, it was better to take cuttings with three or four leaves. This reduced the intensity of the light about 85 percent and gave good results. The vinyl-covered beds were shaded from the sunlight by three layers of "Kanreisha (# 600)" (cheese cloth). The planted cuttings, however, had to be fully watered before the bed was covered with vinyl film. In June the cuttings were grown without watering by covering the nursery bed closely with vinyl film in tunnel form for about 45 days after planting. Experiments were carried out to develop a labour-saving method of planting the tea cuttings by using vinyl film cover over the nursery bed. ![]()
