Highly sought after, this useful citrus tree is most often used for its aromatic leaves. If creative cooking appeals to your senses then you won’t want to be without Lime Leaf in your collection. The popular Tom Yam soup in southeast Asian food would not be the same without Lime Leaf. The leaves add a lemony flavor to foods while the rough skin that covers the fruit is used as a rind in curries. The plant has a spreading to sprawling habit and its shiny leaves are curiously segmented. This is a strong grower that is adaptable to varying cultural environments. Previously called Kaffir Lime.

Plant Care
Container Grown Citrus
Keep the root systems healthy and active. A period of dryness helps stimulate flowers and fruiting. Mimic Florida’s climate- wet summers and dry fall/winters.
Most important for potted citrus:
• Full sun and high light. The more the better.• For faster growth and an active root system, grow them warm.• Do not over pot.• Grow in clay pots for optimum root health.• Fertilize spring through fall. • High light aids in flowering and fruiting.• Fertilize in growing season 1-2 times a month.• Water when the soil is visually dry or at first signs of wilt.

Richard richie I am always impressed with the quality of these magkrut limes. This my third, as I frequently grow them up into sizeable bush size plants, and then give them away to either Thai friends or to fiends who enjoy making Southeast Asian food. What is really impressive is that the larger trees are grafted on a really good rootstock, and grow so sturdily and well.
Thank you so much, Richard! We're thrilled to hear that your Lime Leaf Trees continue to thrive and bring joy to your friends—there's something special about sharing plants that produce such wonderful culinary results. The quality rootstock really does make all the difference in vigor and long-term performance, and we're proud that our grafted trees are setting you up for success year after year. We'd love to hear how your next one develops!

Anne B I had been looking for this lime in all my local nurseries to no avail. I was nervous to order plants online, having heard many horror stories about plant quality, shipping damage, shady companies etc.
I ordered the 4” lime tree since I wanted to be able to harvest the leaves as soon as possible for cooking and perfumes. The tree arrived in excellent condition. It was healthy and vigorous and has already after a month grown a whole new main stem. I continue to be very impressed with Logees selection of plants and their impeccable condition and service!

Libbia This beautiful plant reached Alaska late in the season in great condition. I kind of hate the thought of removing the brilliant, shiny leaves for cooking. Surprisingly, I've learned that the fruit is good for cooking to cleaning. Now I just need to look up some recipes.
