福鼎古茶树保护：百年以上老茶树的品质价值

Fuding has thousands of century-old tea trees, concentrated in Taimu Mountain, Bailin, and Panxi core origins. Ancient tree value: 1) Quality — deep root systems (3-5m) absorb deeper soil minerals,茶汤 'thickness' and 'rhyme' far exceed young trees; 2) Scarcity — single tree yields only 5-10 jin fresh leaves/year, ancient tree tea is 'limited within limited'; 3) Culture — each ancient tree is a living historical witness, carrying century-old terroir memory; 4) Gene bank — ancient trees preserve original Dabai cultivar genetic diversity. Conservation status: Fuding has established ancient tree records, numbered and protected, strictly prohibiting felling and over-harvesting.
