Here in San Diego, you can get it from Exotica nursery in Vista. Of late, I have also noticed some Indian grocery stores selling these plants.

I am in bay area, so I don't know about local places S. Ca. However, during summer, many Indian stores sell these plants in LA area (Artesia - Pioneer Street.)

Have a look at the brief article I wrote on curry plant at:

http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/asianveg/msg111932298634.html

It also talks about online nursery selling curry leaf plant.

I purchased mine about 3 years ago. It's about 3' tall now. I am going to put it in ground this summer. It already has sucker sprouted (about 5-6" tall in an year).

HTH.

I got mine from St. Gabriel Nursery at 632 S. San Gabriel Bl., San Gabriel, CA 91776. Ph. # 626 286 0787.

Kartuz Greenhouses in Vista,CA shipped my plants to San Jose and they are in great condition.

I bought a 2.5 feet tall curry leaf plant in Half Moon Bay Nursery in Half Moon Bay, CA. The owner said that he keeps a few plants because of demand. It cost me $55 including tax. But the plant is mature. If you are in the San Francisco Bay area you can drive there and avoid the shipping cost.

New curry leaf plants that I am growing from seeds.

Shaanp,

You are awesome. I haven't seen curry leaf growing from seeds. I am getting excited after seeing your seedlings.

Long time lurker, first time commenting.

First of all, thanks for all the great advice I've read here and around the web. I have several curry leaf trees purchased last year and this year.

Secondly, If you are located in Silicon Valley, near San Francisco, I want to let you know that India Fresh at the corner of Hollenbeck and El Camino Real in Sunnyvale sells 6" curry leaf plants for $11 each this year in the springtime. (they were $15 last year) All are healthy and growing nicely. The price is terrific!!

The first set I acquired are clearly Gamthi variety (thick leaves, red petioles). The second set appears to be dwarf - green petioles. Here's the decoder ring I've gleaned from online:

Red petiole , thick leaves - Gamthi
Red petiole, thin leaves - Standard
Green petiole, thin leaves - Dwarf

I also picked up a 24" tree for $25 at India Fresh. It appears to be the dwarf variety. It's lovely.

Last year I picked up 4 curry leaf trees from Logee's online For $13 + shipping. They were tiny and fragile. They are also green petiole, so I presume they are the dwarf variety. This year they're much better - they grew to 18" in about a year.

I don't think India Fresh knows anything about what they get other than that they are curry leaf trees. they had no concept of red vs. green petiole. So I consider myself lucky to have picked up a number of both gamthi and dwarf curry leaf trees there.

I also ordered some seeds online from Hawaii Tropicals. About 35/63 seeds have germinated so far over the last month. When they get bigger I plan to give them as gifts to my many Indian coworkers. No idea yet what kind they will be since the petioles don't change until they get bigger.

Care: I use Osmocote shake fertilizer, plus a mild dose of liquid citrus tree fertilizer every two weeks. I also give them a little bit of chelated iron monthly and a little gypsum monthly, but staggered - never at the same time. On occasion I also give a little fish fertilizer. I once over-fertilized and the leaf edges turned black, so I backed down the concentration a bit. Every week they get a little something, always in mild concentrations.

I have lost two plants to heat stroke. I remedied this by wrapping the black pots in aluminum foil. Two plants, likely weakened by heat stroke, were attacked by scale insects. I spent two days picking them off. I then sprayed them to get rid of the crawling vector. I scan them regularly for scale and mealy bugs, which like to wrap themselves up in cotton and seal themselves into the leaves. I pick out the worms and squish them.

One of the lost heat stroke plants that died nevertheless sent up 8 suckers, so it has a new life. Don't throw away a dead plant immediately. Bring it inside, give it a little shot of root stim, and wait 6 weeks. Keep it moist but not sopping wet. Give the roots a chance to recover.

So far since I've adjusted for heat stroke and sprayed regularly (every two weeks) for scale, things are much better.

currilicious, can you share a link to the nursery in Hawaii where you purchased your seed? When I google "Hawaii Tropicals" I get several links, none of which seem to lead to curry leaf plant seeds ...

@currilicious, @zensojourner I commend you for taking this much effort to grow this plant. And thanks for posting your experience too. I have been growing and take care of Curry Leaf plant for several years now. I was given a gift by someone and did not know much about fertilizing till I researched it online. It took me so much time to get this plant growing that I used to lose sleep over it. I made sure I didn't water it too much. Then it doesn't like the pot so much and halts its growth when in pot. It is nevertheless slow growing plant. Since I live in apt, my plant got stolen thrice. Eveytime it grew someone stole it. That time it was not in pot, but in ground and still someone had the audacity to pull a fully grown plant which was 2 feet tall with growings around. I got upset and could not believe and left that place of the plant as it is. Then after couple of months there was little suckers started growing in that place where it was pulled. I plant 8 of them in separate pots of which 1 survived. I put that one in sun and it started growing. After it became tall it got stolen. There was another sucker I found in the mud which was growing. I planted that in pot and used fish fertilizer, anti-bac soapy diluted water and rice water. It started growing rapidly. It was getting too much sun so I kept it inside whenever I could. Then there was scale. I had to remove scale with soapy water every month. But the plant was growing rapidly. Then it became droopy when transferred to bigger pot. I thought it would be better to put it in ground so I did. Then I started putting miracle grow and it was not droopy anymore. It started growing rapidly in ground and was almost 2.5 feet tall. But yesterday, after 6 years, and spending time and money someone stole the last surviving healthy plant once again.

The seeds are not mature yet. It could be several more months before they are ready.

Does any one have curry leaves samplings in Connecticut?

I bought a 2 foot curry leaf tree in San Diego for $ 95. I bought it in Mira Mesa. It is doing good. It is four foot tall in one year with a healty green growth. I can dig up the address from where I bought it.

wow, they are expensive in san diego!

Hello,

I am in SFO Bay Area, and I'm looking for Indian Curry Plant (Murraya koenigii) seeds.

I am open to any variety, but prefer to try the "Gamthi" variety as it is supposedly the most fragrant.

Alternatively, If any one can spare a few saplings (especially if the variety is known, but even otherwise), I am open to those as well.

I will also take any cuttings and put in the effort for rooting them to propagate a few.

I can be reached at dgsoninet at gmail dot com

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Desh

Hi I am from San Diego and would like to buy curry plants right away. Please share pricing and shipping details. Thank you

Where can i get curry plant or seed in raleigh? TIA

where is it available in the bay Area in California?
Haven't seen them at the Indian stores recently..

@currilicious, can u share gamthi cuttings

My plants are 4 or 5 years old by now but haven't grown a lot in the last 2 years as I can no longer put them out until quite late in the season - it just gets too cold too often overnight up in the mountains where I am now. They need artificial light which I haven't been able to provide. But they are still growing. I have blossoms again this year but lost them to a cold snap when I put them out "too early" (for this area) last year. This year I'm keeping them until at least mid-June. Maybe I'll get fruit and seeds this year at last!

I hit them up with some iron last year which improved their overall condition. These plants don't need a lot of light but they need more than they've been getting since I moved. We'll see if the fruit sets seed. I have no idea how these are normally pollinated.

They don't like to be re-potted but it sounds like your plant is need of new soil. Do it carefully before the weather gets too hot. I put mine in a larger pot every several years as it need to be moved to shelter to winter over so it can't be in the ground.

Nope, they're good in the pots they are in. It's lack of light. I figure they'll need to be repotted next year - some of them, anyway. Probably about 25% of them.

They do have a higher-than-usual need for iron so you do need to remember to supplement with an chelated iron product every couple of years. They also absorb fertilizer through the leaves poorly - I started out trying to spray with a citrus fertilizer as many people do for other citrus, but it was totally ineffectual. Returned to a fertilizer drench once a year and they're good again, as long as I remember to add iron to it (which my other plants don't need so much).

What size pots do you have them in? And how big do they get in pots? I'm concerned about having to haul them in and out every winter.

Is anyone still selling Fully Grown Curry Leaf Plant? If yes, please share the details.
