On a tea plantation, trees need to be pruned too

On a tea plantation, tea plants are not the only ones that need care and attention:  the trees do too. If you want their leaves to give a little shade to the camelias, the trees have to be prevented from growing too tall. So from time to time, they  have to be pruned severley, like here near Ivy Hills (Sri Lanka), to be kept low and start up again with renewed vigor.
