Lime Kaffir Espalier 33cm
Lime Kaffir is a medium-sized evergreen fruiting tree. The foliage is highly aromatic and a lovely rich green. Petite white fragrant blooms are followed by unusual rough, bumpy fruit. The leaves and rind of the fruit are used to flavour Thai cooking. Fertilise Lime Kaffir throughout the peak growing seasons. Low water requirements through winter, however, keep the tree well-watered throughout Summer.
All Citrus will take up to 3 years to produce a harvestable crop. It isn’t uncommon in the first 12-18 months for the fruit to form on the tree but be undersize or lacking flavour. In the first 12 months the tree will be establishing its roots into the soil, the second year you should be establishing the framework of the tree and then in the third year, they should begin to crop. Uneven weather conditions can also affect the fruiting times, crops and yield.
