Citrus 'Lime': Kaffir

Citrus hystrix, also known as Kaffir Lime, is an evergreen citrus prized for its fragrant foliage rather than its fruit. Native to tropical Southeast Asia, its leaves are an indispensable ingredient in Thai, Indonesian, and Cambodian cooking. Kaffir Lime will grow to be about 5 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 4 feet. It has a low canopy, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 50 years or more. This tree thrives in USDA zones 9–11 when planted, or it works wonderfully in a container to overwinter indoors. If planted outdoors it needs 6-10 ft of spacing. With its distinctively bumpy fruit and hourglass -shaped leaves, the Kaffir Lime stands out in both appearance and utility.
