Abstract: The research study on the effect of pruning on economic characters Oil-tea Camellia fruit with four breeds of Oil-tea Camellia which was seven years. The results showed that the fruit weight, fruit width, fruit seed number, seed size, seed-producing percentage and oil content were improved with pruning, and the improved effect of winter pruning was superior to spring pruning. The average fruit weight of winter pruning was 28.4g, which exceed 3.3g and 5.9g respectively than spring pruning and the control. The fresh fruit produced fresh seed percentage and fresh fruit produced dry seed percentage of spring pruning were 36.7% and 19.6% respectively, which exceed 28.3% and 41.0%, but which was not significant difference to winter pruning. Fresh fruit oil content of winter pruning and spring pruning were 6.0% and 5.0% respectively, exceed 62.2% and 35.1% respectively. Different breeds had different effect, which the economic index difference of different pruning period was biggish.
