Summary

Despite large visual differences in size and form of shoot and root systems of young clonal plants and of older seedlings, there was no convincing evidence that tea plants, brought into bearing by pegging, are necessarily more susceptible to water stress than similar plants that have been pruned, though the sap tension in pegged plants of one clone was often greater than in similar pruned plants. Further studies are needed to show whether this is the case in drier areas, but differences in responses to dry conditions by individual clones appear to be of greater significance.
