Has anyone here grown curry leaf tree (murraya koenegii) successfully in ground? I have no idea how tall will it grow?
Here's my curry leaf w/c i've transferred onto the ground about 2 wks ago under the eaves facing north w/c gets hot afternoon sun everday...I hope i've chosen the right spot.
Sorry Can't find the pix, i'll post it later.

Hi Juanita,
Yes, I currently have one which is 1.5 meter tall in a small pot (30 cms) and has been in there since year 2000. When it was young it was under the eaves facing north too.
Due to limited space it does not produce lots of leaves but it is enough for a family. Please note that they may drop leaves in winter but come back in Spring. I had one small one 30 cm tall on the ground before having this one and it died after 2 years. With yours you should speed up the growing by giving it some dynamic lifter before winter so the chance to get through winter is greater. Good luck.

Hi Tran,
Based from your experience, it seems it thrives better in pot than it's on the ground?... I still have another small one in the pot just in case this one on the ground doesn't make it..Yeah, i've noticed they usually drop their leaves in winter (semi-dormant)& bounce back in spring.Thanks for your dynamic lifter's advice, i'll do that.

Hi Tran,
They both seem to be doin ok in that sheltered spot under the eaves facing north next to the brick wall where they always get warm from the afternoon sun & the brick wall...I'll also give them some protection like clear plastic (polycarbonate?)against cold wind/frost comes winter...I gave them some dynamic lifter too, thanks for your advice.

Hi people,
Do you have any idea how propagate curry leaf tree? Actually I recently tried to propagate it by stem cuttings (softwood, hardwood and semi-hardwood)dipping in rooting hormone and also petiole cutting and leaf blade cutting plus sowing seed but so fare there is no sign of succeed yet after 4 weeks! :(

Curry Leaf Tree needs full sun position. It is a Tropical tree and thrives in the sunshine. Here in Perth the soil is mostly sand. The soil was fortified with lawn clippings (mulch) and chicken manure.
Pic 1: OUR FRONT-YARD CURRY Leaf TREE ABOUT 16ft tall- planted by my wife some 25 to 30 years ago as a small plant.
It is now about 16 ft tall and 10 feet in diameter.
Pic 2: Backyard Curry Leaf Tree about 18ft tall X 10 ft Dia. Planted same time as a small plant some 25 to 30 years ago

Ours is growing well in typically unconditioned clay soils here in Adelaide. has survived the last four 0-15 degree winters here no problems (The Cold is the problem in Adelaide - not the rain! hehehe drought here). keep the plants close to the house or to a fence to avoid the frosts & chilling winds.

There is a curry leaf plant growing very well in the ground at the Sydney botanic gardens, in the herb section. I have planted mine in the ground, seems fine. Cutting off the seeds might help it bush? Mine is growing like a bean pole. I got it from Engals Nursery, I believe they grew it from seed.

Hi Sharma,
Both my curry leaf plants inground & pot aren't goin yellow yet, in fact they're growing new leaves & some offshoots as well. Give them seaweed liquid fertiliser forthnightly till the end of May then stop fertilising during winter (june-aug) & give them some chook poo (dynamic lifter), that's all i do & they're doin so well...I'll post latest pics next time.

Don't know if it;s of any help - but some asian grocery stores sell these plants - probably heaps of these shops in melb? there are in Perth. if not they could probably help you with seeds. They often stock other seeds too, I am trying a "yam bean tuber" only problem is all instructions in asian and I can;t understand!

Hi folks,
Richard I am amazed by that huge Murraya. its at least 3 times the size of the biggest one i have ever seen.
In Melbourne you can get Murraya koenigii curry leaf tree from Pots Galore, 2 doors down from Gardenworld on springvale rd. bigger specimens & for much less $$. they also have mangoes, tropical guavas, and many more (but limited compared to gardenworld).
also try Wantirna markets for Murraya i found a clone with bigger leaves than i've ever seen. at least 3times larger than my other regular one.
there are some variations:
http://www.bhatia-nurseries.com/curry.htm
I'll add that cuttings IME are extremely difficult to root. suckers are okay but it seems not every plant produces them. They grow pretty well in Mel, theres one down the road from me a few metres tall. select a sheltered warm spot like next to a brick wall etc. feed and water regularly over the warmer months and they can grow quite fast.
Wantrina market is also good for fruit trees incl. citrus, deciduous fruit and tropicals (have seen tropical guava, lychee and mango).

hi Lyn,
http://www.bhatia-nurseries.com/curry.htm
see that link.
i'm not sure re: fragrant.
As said i got one locally with far larger leaves than the norm.
I cannot distinguish it olfactorily from my other ones.
possibly they are mere seedling variations, i have not seen any named cultivars/varieties available locally. they are invariably labelled generically as 'Curry Leaf Tree'.
grow many from seed and see what you get ;).
for enhanced genetic diversity you could get several starting stock plants, making sure they are all from different sources. then do some selective breeding with the seedlings for desired characteristics.
of course, this sort of project would entail many years of attention and devotion.

Dear Lyn
I have attached a photo of the more fragrant curry plant with seeds on it (I was fortunate enough to take a photo of the plant whilst on holiday as I was unable to import it) and the other of course is the common curry plant which is found here in Australia. If anyone has any advice on the importation of these plants from overseas please let me know - tks.
