Description

A citrus tree prized for its aromatic, bumpy-skinned fruit and distinctive double-lobed leaves — both widely used in South-East Asian cooking. The leaves release a strong, fresh citrus fragrance when crushed.

Grows to around 4m. Plant in full sun in a warm, frost-free position with well-drained soil. In colder Melbourne areas, grow in a pot that can be moved to shelter over winter. Feed with citrus fertiliser through the growing season.

Botanical name: Citrus hystrix
