• Highly knobbly and wrinkled, the fruits of the kaffir lime certainly stand out from other citrus fruits - we think they look like little green brains or the inside of a walnut, but what do you think?
• Funky appearance aside, however, there's a reason that this plant is so prized in Southeast Asian culinary circles; its evergreen, hourglass-shaped leaves are seriously aromatic and feature a citrusy taste without the intensely sharp tang of other citrus fruits. Though less commonly utilised than the leaves, the zest can also be used to add a welcome lemony injection to your weekday dinners
• Use the leaves to transform your Thai green curries, conjure up fabulous fishcakes and prepare the freshest salad you've ever tasted - seriously!
• The tree produces wonderfully fragrant white flowers throughout the year, which are then followed by the distinctive fruits
• Here in the cooler climate of the UK, your best bet is growing your kaffir lime tree in a large container on your patio or in a greenhouse. This way, you can bring it indoors or move it to a more sheltered location in the winter
• Also known as makrut lime
• Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post
• Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth
