Kaffir Lime Tree Plant Dwarf Live Citrus Hystrix 2-3 Ft Tall In 1 Gallon Pot

Description: Dwarf Kaffir Lime Tree Dwarf Kaffir lime trees are shrubby and are easily distinguished by their aromatic, jade-green, glossy leaves that looked like two conjoined leaves. The leaves can be either used fresh or dried to give a spicy-lemony taste to many dishes. The limes are acidic with a slightly bitter flavor and emit a fragrant smell.The Dwarf Kaffir lime tree, botanically named Citrus hystrix, is a lavishly fragrant evergreen citrus tree that is generally 6 to 10 feet tall and mainly grown for use in Asian cuisine. The Kaffir Lime, otherwise known as makrut lime or papeda, is a small, thorny tree in the Papeda subgenus of the family Rutaceae that originated in Southeast Asia and widely cultivated in Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Thailand and Philippines.This dwarf citrus tree thrives in potted environment but adapts well outdoors in USDA growing zones 9 to 11. This tropical lemon lime tree is cold sensitive and may wither when exposed to freezing weather, although if you live in colder areas you can still grow and enjoy this fruit tree indoors given you provide it with the right growing conditions.sMakrut or Kaffir limes are pendulous dark-green limes with round base and slightly protruding nipple. These unsightly and irregularly bumpy fruits typically grow to 5-7 centimeters in diameter and have numerous scattered glandular dots. They are typically yellow or yellow-green when ripe and have a tremendously sour and slightly bitter flavor. Although seldom used, the Dwarf Kaffir Lime fruit can be used to make “rhum arrange” or used as substitute for a portion of lemon juice and zest.The fruit compensates with its fragrant rind that gives an exotic flavor to dishes you cannot find in other citrus fruit. The zest and finely chopped rind of Kaffir Limes are mashed with other ingredients to make curry paste in Thailand and Laos; Thai curries have a distinct flavor compared to Indian curry and are added to stews and soups. The rind and zest are also used in delis like salad, stir-fried dishes and soups like tom yam – a popular hot and sour Thai soup with wholesome lemony essence..PaymentPayment accepted through Paypal.Shipping We do not offer local pickup or combines shipping.
