{"product_id":"citrus-lime-kaffir-3","title":"Citrus - Lime - KAFFIR","description":"\u003cp\u003eCitrus hystrix, known as the \"Makrut Lime\" is a small tree or shrub, notable for its aromatic, double-lobed green leaves and fragrant white flowers that bloom from Djilba to Kambarang (late winter to spring). Besides its culinary appeal, the rough-skinned limes it produces can be used in various dishes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhether in pots or directly in the ground, this lime variety thrives in sunlit locations with good drainage. Enhancing sandy soils with a high-quality soil conditioner will greatly benefit its growth. During Kambarang to Djeran (spring to autumn), maintaining regular watering is pivotal, more so in the warmer days. To ensure robust growth and fruitful yields, a citrus-specific fertiliser can be applied in early Djilba (spring). Post-harvest, consider pruning to retain its form and to stimulate fresh growth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \"Makrut Lime\" Makrut Lime, has traditionally been known by a name that is now recognised for its derogatory connotations. The term \"Kaffir Lime\" has been used for years, but it's essential to understand that the term \"Kaffir\" is an offensive term in some cultures, especially in Africa where it's a racial slur. Thus, many now prefer the term \"Makrut Lime\" to avoid perpetuating the use of insensitive language. We've made the decision to keep the name \"Kaffir\" in the product title to make it easier to find on our website.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable width=\"100%\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ctbody data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eCitrus hystrix\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eKaffir Lime, Makrut Lime\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCultivar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eCitrus\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePBR Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eTropical south-east Asia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eEvergreen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003e3 - 4 M\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003e3 - 4 M\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eBest grown in full sun, will tolerate part shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eWell-draining sandy\/loamy soil enriched with compost.
