This is achieved by crossing selected parental stocks of cultivars and plant selection based on ease of rooting, quality, yield and easily rooting invigorating rootstocks and high quality scions VP cultivars for the production of superior composite plants.enTea Research Foundation (TRFCA)Camellia sinensisTea -- ResearchTea -- ClonesTea -- VarietiesPlants, CultivatedBook chapter
