CURRY LEAF PLANT SEEDLING 4"-6" or more tall. ORGANICALLY GROWN.

Description: THE CURRY LEAF PLANT IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE CURRY LEAF TREE, SWEET NEEM, KADI PATTA OR CURRY TREE. THE TREE IS CONSIDERED A CITRUS BELONGING TO THE RUTACEAE FAMILY WHICH IS THE SAME FAMILY AS ANOTHER MEDICINAL PLANT THAT IS KNOWN AS RUE. CURRY LEAF IS A NATIVE OF TROPICAL COUTRIES AND IS THERFORE FOUND WIDESPREAD THROUGHOUT SOUTH ASIA AND VERY COMMONLY FOUND IN INDIA WHERE IT TYPICALLY GROWS AS A SMALL EVERGREEN SHRUB THAT CAN ALSO DEVELOP INTO A SIZEABLE TREE ATTAINING HEIGHTS OF UP TO 20 FEET TALL IF ENCOURAGED TO GROW AS A TREE. ALTHOUGH IT IS MAINLY FOUND IN TROPICAL CLIMATES IT CAN ALSO GROW IN THE SUBTROPICS AND WILL THRIVE IN USDA ZONES 8 -12. YOU MAY ALSO GROW CURRY LEAF PLANT INDOORS AS A DWARF OR MINIATURE PLANT IF YOUR CLIMATE IS UNSUITABLE FOR OUTDOOR GROWTH. THE LEAVES ARE COMMONLY USED IN VARIOUS CUISINES TO PROVIDE THE DISTINCT AND SPICY FLAVOR OF CURRY TO MANY DIFFERENT WELL-LOVED INDIAN/CURRY STYLE DISHES. THE LEAVES ARE TYPICALLY HARVESTED FRESH AS NEEDED WHEN COOKING WHERE IT IS USED IN SOUPS, STEWS AND RICE DISHES TO IMPART A VERY PUNGENT, SPICY FLAVOR AND AROMA. IN ADDITION, THE PLANT ALSO HAS MEDICINAL PROPERTIES AND IS OFTEN USED IN BOTH AYUVEDIC, HOMEOPATHIC AS WELL AS TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE. VERY BEAUTIFUL SHOWY WHITE AROMATIC FLOWERS ARE PRODUCED IN THE SUMMER MONTHS STARTING AROUND JULY IN THE TROPICS AND SUB-TROPICS. THE FLOWERS ARE EVENTUALLY REPLACED BY PURPLE/BLACK BERRIES WHOSE PULP HAS A DISTINCTLY CURRY LIKE FLAVOR. THE SEEDS OF THE BERRIES ARE QUITE POISONOUS AND SHOULD NEVER BE CONSUMED. OF INTEREST IS AN ORNAMENTAL CURRY PLANT KNOWN AS HELICHRYSUM ITALICUM WHICH IS A DECORATIVE GARDEN PLANT THAT IS NOT EDIBLE BUT CREATES A BEAUTIFUL ATTRACTION TO GARDEN LANDSCAPES. SUNLIGHT: THE CURRY TREE THRIVES IN FULL SUN. BUT BE AWARE THAT IF YOUR SUNLIGHT IS TOO INTENSE, A YOUNG SEEDLING TREE THAT IS UNDER 1 YEAR OLD MAY DEVELOP BURNS ON THE TENDER YOUNG LEAVES. I HAVE SEEN THIS IN FLORIDA WHERE OUR SUNLIGHT BECOMES SEVERELY INTENSE DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. THIS MAY NOT BE A PROBLEM FOR YOU DEPENDING ON YOUR LOCATION. TO PREVENT THIS PROBLEM, I RECOMMEND GROWING YOUR PLANT IN A 1 TO 3 GALLON NURSERY CONTAINER SO THAT YOU CAN FIND A PART SHADY LOCATION WHERE YOUR PLANT DOES NOT BURN. AFTER YOUR TREE IS OVER 1 YEAR OLD, THE LEAVES BECOME MORE HARDY. YOU CAN THEN TRANSPLANT IT TO THE SUNNIEST LOCATION AVAILABLE IN YOUR GARDEN. WATER: IN GENERAL, YOUR CURRY LEAF PLANT SHOULD BE WATERED REGULARLY FOR THE FIRST 2 MONTHS AFTER WHICH MODERATE WATERING WILL USUALLY BE ADEQUATE DEPENDING ON YOUR STATE/AREA, DURING THE COOLER MONTHS OF THE YEAR YOUR CURRY LEAF PLANT WILL GROW WELL EVEN WHEN ONLY GIVEN ONCE A WEEK WATERING. HOWEVER, IF YOUR AREA IS EXCEPTIONALLY HOT AND DRY DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS, THEN DAILY WATERING MAY BE IN ORDER. SOIL: THE CURRY LEAF TREE IS NOT TERRIBLY FUSSY ABOUT SOIL AS LONG AS THE SOIL DRAINS WELL. ANY GOOD QUALITY WELL DRAINING POTTING SOILS FROM YOUR BIG BOX STORES WILL SUFFICE. IN FLORIDA, CURRY LEAF PLANT WILL EVEN GROW WELL IN OUR ALKALINE SANDY SOIL. FERTILIZER: THERE IS NO NEED TO FERTILIZE BECAUSE CURRY LEAF PLANT IS VERY HARDY BUT IF YOU WISH TO FERTILIZE, ANY GENERAL WELL BALANCED HERBAL FERTILIZER WILL DO FINE.
