Citrus hystrix

For those that like Asian cuisine, Kaffir Lime is a must for the garden. The strangely knobbly green fruits are full of spicy perfumed juice whilst the zest brings a further dimension of flavour. The leaf is also used extensively and can be dried out in the sun for use throughout the year. Whilst the leaf is sold in good grocers, the fruits never are, so home growing is essential for all of these wonderful flavours.

Pollination: Self-fertile.

Citrus are a great addition to any garden and can be grown for many years in pots or planted in the soil in those parts of the country with a reasonably mild climate. The fruits ripen from the late Autumn until mid-spring, but the tree is active at all times of the year with flowers, fruitlets and mature fruits on the tree all at the same time. Citrus will thrive in temperatures above 5ºC and cope with occasional drops below freezing for short periods. During the winter months if the temperature drops below freezing, trees in pots should be moved to a glasshouse, garage or shed and trees planted in the open ground should be wrapped with fleece whilst temperatures stay low. Citrus are not house plants and will not succeed in the environment of central heating.

 

Our citrus trees are grafted on to Volkameriana rootstock and are 3-4 years old. They are supplied in 5.5 litre pots and are 60-90cm (2-3ft) tall on despatch (measured from the base of the pot).

(image for) Limetta Tree (Sweet Lime)
£85.95 inc. p&pLimetta Tree (Sweet Lime)To all intents and purposes Limettas look just like small lemons, but if you squeeze the juice or eat a segment then you are in for a big surprise, as the taste, whilst it is certainly lemon in flavour, is also non-acidic. For some of us the flavour is a little more Lime like and for that reason common alternative names for this variety of citrus are the Sweet Lemon or Sweet Lime. In India, where the variety is grown quite extensively, it is known as Musambi and it is used to treat cold and flu symptoms and a large range of bone related conditions. It has very high vitamin C levels and has been given the nick-name of the 'Cold-Killer'. Out Of Stock
