Living with my little Murraya koenigii...

... for one year now and I won´t give it up.

This little plant is a curry tree, which I bought at an internet shop, because I cannot get hold of curry leaves to cook with. When it arrived at home it was in a poor condition (and literally cried for help). But as you (maybe) know, I am far away from a plant whisperer... roll

So we both (murraya and me) do our best to save its little life. A few days ago it has developed a side shoot - maybe this is a sign of new hope? I will keep you updated! smile

It is looking a good colour! I have had one for a few years now. Every year I cut it back so it won't get too big (friends from Mozambique says there are huge trees all around Maputo).
just at the moment mine is looking yellowish, so i am worried about it.hmm

My murraya is far away from being a huge tree. It is a little illusionary giant... lol
But mine had yellowish leaves, too. But that was on the "old" shoot had also black marks on its bark. I thought, it could be a kind of mycosis... Hope yours doesn´t have this! shocked
