Curry Leaf

Plant in well-drained, moderately fertile soil in full sun; curry leaf shrubs grow slowly at first but accelerate once established in a warm zone 9–11 site. Fresh leaves are essential to South Indian cooking and release their aroma only when heated in oil — dried leaves are a poor substitute, so growing your own is worthwhile. Harvest by snipping young branch tips regularly, which encourages dense new growth; remove flower clusters as they appear if you prefer to maximize leaf production. Mulch heavily through zone 9 winters and wrap the trunk if temperatures below 28°F are expected for more than a night or two. Спосіб посадки: Висадка розсади Відстань між рослинами: 36–60 дюймів Висота: 48–96 дюймів Дні до схожості: 14–28 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 21–29°C
