Kaffir Lime (Citrus hystrix) |

Kaffir Lime (Citrus hystrix)
Highly sought after, this highly useful citrus tree is most often used for its aromatic leaves, which give Southeast Asian food a lemon flavor. The popular lemon grass soup would not be the same without the "Kaffir Lime" leaves. The plant itself has a spreading to sprawling habit and its shiny leaves are curiously segmented. The rough skin, which covers the oval fruit, is used as a rind in curries. The juices are used in hair conditioners. This is a strong grower that is adaptable to varying cultural environments.
Hardy to Zone 9 and higher for outdoors.
Full sun, grows to 1-3’ in container, minimum temperature indoors 50°, blooms in spring.
We are sorry, due to agricultural regulations, citrus cannot be shipped to TX, FL, AZ, CA.

Great houseplant |
| Love this plant! Grows quickly and really fills out. I keep it outside all summer long, and indoors for winter. Its very healthy! I use the leaves for cooking all the time!
I bought this plant almost 3 years ago, no flowers or fruit yet, any suggestions? |

amazing tree |
| I purchased this tree during summer time...and arrive during the peak of hot season. We live in Idaho, I was having doubt if the plant could survive during cold winter. Since September, I moved the tree in to the house and place it by the window where it can receive the full amount of sunshine. The tree has been growing bigger and bigger each day :
Thank you for Logees who had provided such an amazing baby tree and definitely I would purchase more plants from your company.. |

Thrives indoors! A real gem! |
| I live in central Indiana and bought the larger size tree because I wanted the leaves for Thai cooking. Ive had this plant for a year, taking it outdoors during the summer, and its thriving as if it were a native to the area! It arrived in great condition, just as the other reviewer described, and continues to do extremely well. Ive already pruned leaves off for cooking and theyre as delicious as the plant is beautiful! If you enjoy Asian cuisine I fully recommend having this gem in your kitchen! |

Excellent plant quality |
| I ordered the smallest plant to experiment how this will do indoors as I heard its better to train a small plant for indoors. I am in zone 7, Richmond VA and can put it out in summer.
Regardless how small, I was awed by the quality of the plant . Each single leaf of the plant is jade green and healthy. The whole plant itself in its tiny container is healthy. Really healthy.
Email me if you have doubts. mstarceo@yahoo.com will be glad to answer your questions. |
