Comments (9)No, lack of fertilizing is unlikely to be the cause of lack of taste. They are weeds where they grow native. Usually the main "fertilizing" concerns are getting enough iron to them or they go chlorotic from iron deficiency. I fertilize with some iron in the summer when I put them out but missed it this year. They mostly still look ok though. I can't really tell from the picture but that sort of looks like M. koenigii and sort of doesn't. If there's an issue with scent or flavor its more likely an issue of the variety than whether or not you fertilized. It actually still has a way to go before you could consider it productive. From whence cometh your plant? I'm wondering if it came from a tried and true mother plant or if it is of more anonymous provenance. Nearly all my seedlings did eventually sprout, plus I got some freebie "daughter" plants, and they all smelled like curry leaf plant from the time they sprouted. Just brush them and there is the aroma. I lost a few to container mix experimentation and then a few more to lack of watering when I had a long illness, but I still have 15 or 20 mostly good sized plants now (with some experimentation victims gradually trying to catch up with their more fortunate peers). It's still too small to flower or set fruit, neither of which are likely to happen if it doesn't get plenty of warm weather and proper lighting. Outside mine do better in light shade (I am in a desert region with fierce fierce sun); inside they do better in the strongest sunlight I can manage. You are correct in your assumption, now is not the time to fertilize. With what do you fertilize, btw, and what are you using for your container mix?...See Morewanted: murraya koenigii / curry leaf plant seeds

Comments (3)It does sound like an interesting tree. If it was a high nectar producing tree that my hummingbirds would use, I would definitely give it a shot. It would also make a good selection for those wanting a tropical or semitropical look to theri gardens. Penny...See Morepoorni
