Planting & Care

Also known as Makrut Lime, this tree is a must-have for any lover of Southeast Asian cooking.
Produces intensely aromatic, hourglass-shaped leaves that add a vibrant citrus flavour to Thai green curries, fishcakes, and salads without the usual sharpness.
Bears unique, bumpy green fruits resembling small brains, with a zest that can add a lemony touch to meals.
Blooms with fragrant white flowers year-round, adding continuous beauty and scent to your space.
Expertly pruned before dispatch to encourage a healthy, bushy shape and prevent legginess.
Arrives in an EcoPot™, made with 70% less plastic, which is fully recyclable and designed to reduce root spiraling.

Location: Ideal for the UK climate when grown in a large pot on a patio or in a greenhouse. Position in full sun.
Winter Care: As a half-hardy tree (H3), it needs protection from cold. Move it indoors or to a sheltered location during winter as it is only frost hardy down to -5°C.
Soil: Plant in a fertile, loam-based or citrus-specific potting mix with good drainage.
Pruning: Requires minimal pruning. Simply thin out any overcrowded, dead, or damaged branches in late winter (around February) to maintain its bushy habit.
