Hi all,
Great site btw.
Anyway, living in Newbury, I'm not exactly spoilt for shops that stock the necessary herbs and spices needed for currys, and have to stock up whenever I visit my sister in Tooting, so I'm v interested in trying to grow a few of my own.
I've just got underway with the fenugreek, so fingers crossed (I'm not v greened fingered), but I'm wondering is it possible to grow a Curry? plant to get the leaves?
I normally buy a bag of stems, so don't know if it's possible to start with these?
:D

Hi TCW, welcome to cr0.
Yes, curry leaf plants easily grow (outside) in a warm, sunny, location in well drained soil. Which, of course, may be a bit of a problem in the UK :P
You may be OK leaving it in a pot and bringing it inside in autumn/winter (placing it in a warm, sunny, location...haha)....or using a greenhouse.
Not sure about using your "stems", which will have been around a while. I think you're probably better off trying to get a plant (from a nursery?).
Attached is mine which grows happily in the garden (I'm not in the UK though :P)

I've just had three healthy (approx 4") curry leaf trees (Murraya Koenigii) delivered from here. I believe Janet's son grows exotic plants as a hobby!
Plants are 4.00 each plus 5.00 p&p for up to 3 plants within the UK and you will need to send off a cheque before they despatch the plants to you.
