I want to grow Kaffir lime trees from cuttings in the southern hemisphere. I already have several small trees and I know that it can be done here but not sure how and when.

Any help???

The last time I bought gold, the price was about 5,000 baht per Baht (15+grams). I recently saw that the price is approaching 10,000 baht per Baht.

I wish I had bought more. 

There are some tips at the bottom of the page.

It was not easy but in Australia I put 20 small cuttings into a small pot and dipped ends into a special powder (most garden shops have it - don't know what the name was) I think I got 2 or 3 out of the 20.

What part of the southern hemisphere?

Kaffirs are a tropical fruit.

South Africa ? ? ? ?

"Vegemite" South Africa? I don't think so.

Try The Antipodes.......

New Zealand. I have a small hot house and grow all the Thai basils, lemon grass, many chillies and galangal ( my pride and joy ).

The lime trees survive well here outside but dont often bear fruit but in saying that I have had some fruit and I have the dried seeds from them.

The " Boss " and I know a couple of Thais that grow all of the above and more. They supply to resturants and sell at the markets.

Generally I start everything off in the hot house and by the time the weather has given us some mercy we have enough good plants to give to the " Bosses "Thai friends.

I just enjoy growing the things.
