Citrus Hystrix (Lime Kaffir) in dwarf form is a highly productive, compact citrus perfect for kitchens, courtyards, and small gardens. Known for its intensely aromatic double-lobed leaves, this variety is prized in Thai and Southeast Asian cooking and delivers a constant supply of fresh foliage for year round use. The dwarf size keeps it manageable while still offering excellent leaf production and reliable fruiting.
This hardy, evergreen citrus thrives in full sun, responds very well to regular feeding, and performs beautifully in pots or garden beds. Its bumpy green fruit is valued for zest and fragrance, and the plant maintains a dense, attractive shape with occasional pruning. A great choice for anyone wanting a versatile edible plant that fits into even the smallest spaces.
