Lime - Kaffir
Lime - Kaffir The Kaffir Lime produces a dark green, bumpy fruit with leaves, zest, and juice that's used in Thai, Cambodian, and Indonesian cooking. Even the leaves are often used as an essential ingredient for flavoring many Asian dishes such as soups, curries and fish. This dwarf citrus tree, reaching up to 5 feet tall, can be grown outdoors year round in zones 9-10, but it is best suited for indoors. The Kaffir Lime tree thrives in potted environments and does well when grown on the patio or deck; in colder climates it needs to be brought indoors during winter. Its container needs to provide adequate drainage, and it prefers full sun in moist soil. This tree is prone to root rot if kept too wet, so it is best to allow the soil to dry out some between waterings. If grown indoors, keep near a sunny window.
