For those who want a citrus tree that they can utilize within months, and something that can be kept small and easily indoors container-grown, this is a good option. Kaffir Limes are essential to making Southeast Asian dishes such as Tom Yum, Rendang, and proper Pho, the leaves cooked to impart mild flavor, and the fruits can be used much like true limes and other citrus, rinds and all. Plants are thorny when mature and can grow to over 30 feet tall, or be trimmed to stay less than 6.
One remaining seedling approx. 4 inches tall.
