Mature size of Camellia sinensis?

14 years ago

Can anyone tell me what I can expect for an average mature size of a Camellia sinensis in my climate (Atlanta area)? I'm not asking what the absolute maximum size could be under perfect conditions but what an average mature size will be in the typical home landscape.

some varieties are naturally short and bushy like the pink rosea...4' in 6 yrs.
my 'lipton improved' got about 10' in 6yrs.
I'd expect most to do 15' in 15 yrs.
