Lemon Myrtle ^10/10

Comments: - This is a stunning tree.  The growth this season has been very fast, despite regular harvesting of the leaves for cooking and tea.  Very low maintenance and extremely hardy.

Planted: 2010

Height 1 metres

Growing: In a Pot

Qty: 1

Sun/Shade: Medium Sun

Water Given in: Spring

Lemon Grass ^10/10

Comments: - No maintenance plant which needs regular watering (I have mine in a water well pot).  Regular harvesting will mean you can supply everyone you know with lemongrass, and still have loads left over.  Freeze or dry stalks for cooking; dry leaves for tea.  Mulch well.

Planted: 2010

Height 60 Centimetres

Growing: In a Pot

Qty: 1

Sun/Shade: Full Sun

Pest Control: No pests yet...  Watch out for slugs/snails in the winter.

Lime - Kaffir ^10/10

Comments: - In my humble opinion, this is the best citrus tree.  Harvest the leaves and freeze or dry for the quintessential Thai curry ingredient.  Also fruits (although mine too young yet).  This one just had some leaves burnt in the heat wave, but the tree still going strong.  Mulch well.

4kg of fruit per year is awesome. Is the reason it stays on the tree because it is resilliant and your other varieties fall off?
