Budset

Some programs use drought stress to cause budset and harden the crop in preparation for winter.

The timing of budset was the most important factor in determining allocation differences between the clones.

Proper bud pruning, green harvests where whole clusters are dumped on the ground to bolster final berry concentration, as well as a myriad of intensive practices between budset and harvest.

1-year-old seedlings of P. Sylvestris show steep latitudinal clines within Finland in date of budset and in the development of frost tolerance.

And growers using AQUA-GRO report greater budsets and faster crops with better rooting.

Only budsets (immature leaves, shoots, or tips) are harvested to produce white tea.

White tea budsets are shaded for approximately the final three weeks of their time on the bush.

Assam bush is the best choice for making many world famous teas, but not for white tea, either budset or leaf style.
