Lime Kaffir (Makrut Lime)
Makrut Lime
The 'Kaffir' Lime is a quick-growing and compact shrub that produces unusual-looking fruit. The fruit is green, warty, and inedible due to the thick rind, lack of juice, and bitter taste. This evergreen shrub typically grows to 3 m tall and the same wide, and can be trimmed as necessary. The 'Kaffir' Lime is commonly included in a mixed planting or maintained either in a container or in a courtyard garden.
