Kaffir Lime (Citrus Fruit)

Kaffir Lime is an incredibly aromatic variety of Lime, that its leaves are a vital ingredient in Thai cooking, especially Thai curry recipes. When crushed the citrus aroma will burst into life, infusing your dish with amazing zest. Meanwhile the fruits are brilliant for creating cocktails with its juice and skin adding to any drinks. Uniquely imperfect, the fruits grow to around 4cm in diameter with a uneven skin. Citrus fruits grown in a standard UK garden can take up to a year to develop, but they are always so worth the time invested in them. While you wait for the fruit to arrive, the glossy green foliage and scented blooms in spring make citrus trees so ideal for a conservatory or patio where they can stand out as a feature. Will thrive outdoors from May to October as they?re hardy down to 5°C, but to ensure the best life for the plant, they should be brought in in winter months.
