Abstract: To investigate the relationship between the yield and morphological traits of a single tea plant, the field data collected from 38 first-hybrid-generation plants of Jinxuan（Camellia sinensis） and Cuiyu（Camellia sinensis）involved with 11 morphological traits showed that pruning weight, one-hundred-bud weight, the numbers of germinative buds and primary branches had a greater variation in choice, and the coefficient of variation（CV）of which were more than 30%. The morphological traits, such as germinative number, leaf area and plant height, had significant positive correlations with the individual plant yield, but a significant negative correlation would be revealed for one-hundred-bud weight. Because of complex relationship among different morphological traits, the decision coefficient of germinative number, leaf area, plant height and one-hundred-bud weight to the individual plant yield was only 64.1%. Therefore, the indirectly positive effects from the secondary branches as well as negative effects from the primary branches to the other morphological traits should be coordinately considered during the plant trait selection.
