Instantly recognisable by its unique double-lobed leaves, this tree is a staple in Thai and Southeast Asian cooking, where the fresh leaves are used to add a distinctive citrus flavour to curries, soups and stir-fries.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe foliage is rich green with serrated edges, while new growth emerges in a striking deep purple tone, adding ornamental interest. The tree also produces unusual, bumpy, “crinkled” fruit, valued more for its intensely flavoured zest than its juice.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nCompact and highly productive, Kaffir Lime is ideal for kitchen gardens, pots and courtyards, where fresh leaves can be picked as needed.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nMature size: typically 2–4 metres high × 2–3 metres wide\u003cbr\u003e\r\n(smaller when grown in pots or pruned)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare \u0026amp; Growing Tips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPlant in full sun in a sheltered position with well-drained soil.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWater regularly, especially during dry periods and when fruiting.
