Before planting, the "bending tea" or "Hokkien tea" tree is a fence.

🪴: sun-resistant, little watering, little care, birds / snakes / insects do not like 🚫🐍🐦🐜

🟢 Advantage

1. Like a little care line

- ☀️ Very sunny: Like a full day of sun. The more sunny the leaves, the tighter the green.

- 💧 Little Watering: Very good drought resistance, mature, no watering at all, enough rain

- ✂️ Little Care: Grow up slowly. Don't trim often. 2-3 times a year. Enough.

- 🚫 Animal Hate: Hard Leaf + Bitter + Firm Texture → Inconvenient Ivy Snake / Not Hidden, Birds Don't Island Don't Eat, Insects Don't Nest / Don't Eat Leaf 🛡️

- 🪵 Good Eye Visor: Small, firm, solid leaves, planted as a line, 100% close.

2. 🚀 The most economical price: 3-5 baht per tree (8-10 meters per meter = 30-50 baht / meter) is the cheapest of the fence trees.

3. 📏 Suitable size: 1-3 m height control, not too high, do not obscure the house light.

4. 🩹 Super Insect Resistant: Almost No Disease, No Insect Infestation, Super Easy To Raise

🔴 Disadvantages / Cautions (Must know before planting)

1. 🐢 Very slow growth ❗❗ (most important)

- The slowest of the 7 recommended types → It takes 2-3 years to tighten the fence. 🕒

- 🆚 Compared: Tri-Korean 8-12 months, Chadad 24-36 months

- ❌ Not suitable for a full fence in a year.

2. ✂️ Must be trimmed uniformly if want to be tight.

- If left uncut → long branches. Not tight. Not pretty.

- The top must be cut every time 10-15 cm long to make it branch. Tight, solid.

3. 🌱 The planting stage must be tight.

- Must be planted in two rows, alternating fish teeth, 15-20 cm / tree → If planted too far, not tight, vulnerable, snakes / small animals can be inserted.

4. 🪨 The roots are not deep: do not like waterlogging, drainage must be good, if the soil is dry, the roots are rotten. 🪦

5. 🌧️ Allergies to Acid / Saltwater Rain: Not suitable for areas near the sea or highly polluted air

✅ Summary of final recommendations

🟢 choose Shadad if:

- ✔️ There's a few years to wait.

- ✔️ The most economical budget.

- ✔️ focus. Animals don't get very close.

- ✔️ Like a low-medium fence, neat.

🪴 How to grow bending tea to the best effect

1. Dig a groove, 40-50 cm away from the fence.

2. Plant 2 rows, alternate fish teeth, 15-20 cm / tree (1 meter, 10 trees).

3. Sui loam. Well drained. Do not lock water.

4. Watering only for the first few months → After that, stop watering, release nature.

5. Trim the tops every 1-2 months. The growth period is fast → the bushes are solid. 🧱
