Title: Curry Leaves
Post by: rutters on January 27, 2007, 11:55:27
Has anyone ever tried growing Curry Leaves (not Curry Plant)? You quite often see them being used on TV shows or find them in recipes. I've googled a bit and have found that they grow as a tree in Asia but can be grown as a shrub in this country.

Anyone know anything?

cheers

They're available fresh all year round at two market stalls close by, so I've never thought of growing them. But Kew Gardens have some advice!

It's wonderful to think they could be grown on the windowsill - tempted to give it a shot, thank you for the suggestion rutters :)

The plants (for cuttings) from an Asian grocer with a high sales turnover (for freshness). You could check the day they receive deliveries?
