Does anyone have any experience growing the lime leaves used in Thai
cooking? I believe they're called Kaffir in the US. I live in
Florida, so if they're a true citrus lime I can probably grow them.
My grocers don't always have them. Also, any source for the plants
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

It should do fine in Fl.
GOogle for who carries it near you.
One Floridian once posted that they grafted a Kaffir lime branch from a
tree grown by a local restaurant onto another citrus.
California Exotic Fruit Growers Ass. might have more info. Try googling
them.
I'm sure you'll be able to grow one. My Meyer's lemon, up here is damp
Pugetopolis, gets scale bugs every other year. I use SafR Soap and elbow
grease to strip them off, but I do keep a loving eye on the plant.
