The peak period of flowering stage appears in the last ten days of October. With low bearing rate. Highly resistant to drought. High rooting ability and survival rate during cutting propagation.

        High-yielding. The yield of Oolong tea in the tea garden of 186 mu in Longjuan village (Anxi county, Fujian province) averaged 213.3kg per mu. In a large area of 1200 mu tea garden of Yingde Tea Plantation of Guangdong province, the yield averaged 282.5kg green tea per mu.
