Kaffir Lime Citrus PlantCitrus hystrixThai Lime, Makrut Lime

Kaffir lime leaves are an essential ingredient in Thai curry dishes, emitting an intense and fragrant citrus flavour when crushed. The aromatic fruits make a tasty addition to drinks. The Kaffir Lime bears distinctively knobbly, 4cm diameter green fruit and unusual double-shaped leaves.

Citrus trees are ideal feature plants, bringing a touch of Mediterranean style to conservatories and patios. They make excellent, long-lasting, and fragrant gifts. When you give an orange or a lemon tree as a present, you’re giving a decorative, scented, and productive plant! The delicate waxy, and highly scented flowers are beautifully offset by the lush, shiny green foliage.

They will take time to mature and produce fruit, but are wonderful, classy plants in their own right with the additional bonus of intense scent throughout the year and especially winter. Hardy to 5°C, they are best grown outdoors from May to October, and brought inside for the winter. Height: 3m (118”). Spread: 250cm (98”).
