Kaffir Makrut Lime Tree for Aromatic Leaves
The Kaffir Lime Tree (Citrus hystrix), also known as Kaffir Lime, Makrut Lime, Thai Lime Tree, or Kubot, is a distinctive citrus tree native to Southeast Asia. It is renowned for its aromatic leaves and a bumpy, green fruit. The leaves are prized not only for their fragrance but primarily for their use as a key ingredient in many Southeast Asian cuisines, adding a bright, tangy flavor to dishes.
Leaves are double-lobed, dark green, and release a powerful citrus fragrance when crushed. They are a staple in Southeast Asian cooking, used in soups, curries, and stir-fries to impart a distinctive tang; leaves can be used fresh or dried and are often torn or bruised to release essential oils before adding to dishes. The fruit is small, round, and green with a distinctive bumpy texture; its zest is highly aromatic and used in some recipes, particularly curries and Thai curry pastes, while its juice is very acidic and used sparingly. Beyond cooking, the leaves and fruit are valued for their essential oils, which are used in perfumes, soaps, and other aromatic products.

Let customers speak for us
Great service. Soil is what I wanted and it off loaded exactly where I asked.
Plants are doing really well with this soil. Deep and rich looking soil, plants seem really happy. Much more cost effective (and no plastic bag waste) compared to buying bags of soil mix from a store.
The quality of the craftsmanship is superb! My formula one fan absolutely loves it!!!!
Worked like an absolute charm!
These markers were perfect for ones that we were replacing. The quality is great and they seem sturdy. The gold detail stands out and is visible from a distance. Shipping was very fast.
Good solution. The little flies have disappeared. We were sure to mist/moisten the surface of each plant once a day for 4 or 5 days, after the initial application of the nematodes, to keep the little guys mobile and able to get to any remaining eggs. So, go for it!
Plant was well packed and shipment was very fast. Received a very nice fully rooted plant in the pot!
The organic garden soil is doing very well in my garden bed. The company was professional, nice, and accommodating to my needs. They provide many types of things for your landscaping at a reasonable price.
Product was delivered promptly and the quality of the product was very good, as hoped for. I was thrilled to receive the product so quickly! Thank you!
Product is great. Didn't care for having to pay am extra $17 tariff to UPS to get it delivered, but I guess that's not your doing. Thank you Mr. President.
My new babay arrived safely and only lost two little leaves so far. The first one I ordered from different shop arrived with two leaves attached that fell off within ten minutes of unboxing and 22 leaves that had came off during shipping. So glad she arrived looking as beautiful as i was hoping. Also had a surprise red arrow syngonium cutting that’s beautiful. Also customer service was amazing. Will definitely order from them again. Hoghly recommend this shop.
Great flag and it works well on our hangar ceiling. A little worried it wouldn't arrive in time for our event but it did.
