Kaffir Lime Trees for Sale
Citrus made easy for growers, nurseries, and distributors
TreeSource Citrus Nursery is renowned for its high-quality Kaffir lime trees for sale. Kaffir lime, or Mankrut lime, trees produce a very odd and interesting fruit, with the fruit rind having a bumpy, thick appearance and its juice being bitter and tart. The most common use for Kaffir lime trees is the leaves, which are prized for their aromatic flavor and are particularly popular additions to many South Asian dishes. At TreeSource, we ensure that each tree is nurtured with care and expertise to produce nothing but the healthiest Kaffir lime trees and leaves. By offering a range of rootstocks, including C35, Carrizo, Flying Dragon, Macrophylla, Rich 16-6, Sour Orange, and Volk, our practices strengthen the plant’s defenses against disease, drought, and frost. These rootstocks are also used to enhance the growth and productivity of our Kaffir lime fruit trees, guaranteeing customers receive the most optimal plants to use for commercial, wholesale, and private purposes.

Kaffir or Kaffir Lime Citrus Trees FAQs
How do your Kaffir lime trees differ from other lime varieties available commercially?
At TreeSource Citrus Nursery, our Kaffir lime trees stand out from other commercially available lime varieties because we grow our Kaffir limes using clean, certified budwood in our CDFA and USDA-certified facilities. We prioritize quality in every tree, ensuring that our Kaffir fruit trees are of the highest standard.
Unlike other nurseries, we go above and beyond to provide our clients with exceptional customer service to match our exceptional products. Whether you need help finding the ideal rootstock for your regional growing needs, additional support caring for your plant after planting, or educational guidance regarding how best to maintain your citrus groves, the passionate experts at TreeSource Citrus Nursery are eager to help.
Can Kaffir lime trees produce leaves all year round, or do they have a preferred harvest time?
This variety of lime trees thrives in warm, tropical, or subtropical climates where temperatures stay above 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Because Kaffir lime trees are evergreens, they may potentially be harvested for their leaves all year round under optimal conditions.
Do you offer a warranty or guarantee on your Kaffir fruit trees?
At TreeSource Citrus Nursery, we do not offer a warranty on our Kaffir fruit trees. However, we have successfully shipped our Kaffir lime trees all across the U.S. and internationally. Our proven shipping process ensures that your trees arrive in excellent condition. We understand that issues and problems can sometimes occur, and when they do, we address each situation on a personal level to find the best solution. Your satisfaction is our priority.
Will my Kaffir lime tree arrive ready to plant?
At TreeSource Citrus Nursery, the readiness of your Kaffir lime tree to be planted depends on the product you purchase and where you plan to plant it. Our Super Citrus is the most ready product for ground planting. Additionally, our Box Ready Trees can either be planted directly in the ground or in a larger container.
Upon arrival, all of our products are ready to be transplanted into bigger containers. However, the Super Citrus and Box Ready Trees are mature enough to be planted directly into the ground if desired. This flexibility ensures that you can choose the best option for your specific planting needs.
I have had shipping issues with previous citrus tree distributors. How are your Kaffir lime trees shipped?
At TreeSource Citrus Nursery, we understand the importance of reliable shipping for our wholesale customers. Our Kaffir lime trees are shipped using different methods depending on the product purchased:
Citrus Liners and Rooted Cuttings are shipped in boxes. This is our most common shipping method for longer distances due to the resilience and toughness of our citrus liners during travel. These liners are designed to withstand the rigors of shipping, ensuring they arrive in excellent condition.
Small Pot, Super Citrus, and Box Ready Trees can be shipped on pallets. The quantity of trees per pallet depends on the specific product and order size. Pallet shipping is ideal for larger orders and ensures that the trees are securely packed and protected during transit.
We take great care in our shipping process to minimize any potential issues and ensure that your Kaffir lime trees arrive healthy and ready for planting. For a detailed shipping quote and to discuss your specific needs, please contact Daniel Cervantes and the rest of our sales team. We are committed to providing exceptional service and ensuring your satisfaction with every order.
