Ta-da!!Can you see these beautiful icicles?

We can see icicles hanging down sprinklers during winter.

These icicles are made for the purpose of the frost damage protection.It seems getting icicles disturb the protection measure, but actually these icicles help tea trees not to get frost over them.At Iwamotoen, some tea fields have sprinklers, while others have frost protective fans.The frost protective fans is a fan-like machine standing in the middle of tea fields, which is supposed to clear frost from tea trees.

Freezing hardiness …the degree that tea trees can bear getting damage caused by cold. About the sprinklers article
