This Kaffir lime tree starter plant will produce Citrus hystrix (makrut lime) fruit in approximately 2 years depending on the climate where you live. Each tree measures approximately 6.0” - 10.0" from top of soil to the highest leaf. They can vary in size, but are quick growing, so even a smaller plant will be considerably larger in a couple of weeks. It can be planted outside if you live in a warm, arid climate, a greenhouse, or indoors with appropriate UV sunlight bulbs, if you live in a colder climate, such as our beautiful Maine. These hardy trees will adapt to any surroundings. The makrut lime fruit is native to tropical Southeast Asia and Southern China. Its fruit and leaves are used in Southeast Asian cuisine, and its essential oil is used in perfumery. Its rind and crushed leaves emit an intense citrus fragrance. These Southeast Asian tropical fruit trees are proudly grown in Bangor, Maine. Each customer receives a free seed to plant, so you can grow a sister tree to keep company. Adopt one today.

Healthy Little Plant
Pros: very fast shipping- ME to CA in 4 days? Great! Very healthy plant arrived., nice color, no dead leaves.Cons: Make no mistake- this is a very small plant. When it arrived it was smaller than the palm of my hand. For almost $50, I was hoping for a bit larger.I've since re-potted it -and planted the 3 lime seeds (extra seeds- nice bonus!) The tree is growing so well, I gave it 5 stars. I'd buy it again. However if you don't want to nurse a tiny tree for a year, keep shopping.

A twig with a couple of half dead leaves
I babied it for a week and it died anyway. Very tiny, definitely not as advertised, what a waste of my hard earned money! Grrrrr
