Murraya koenigii (Curry Leaf Tree)

 

Commonly known as the Curry Leaf Tree, Murraya koenigii is a highly valued evergreen tree, renowned for its aromatic foliage and ornamental appeal. With its delicate, feathery leaves and clusters of small, fragrant white flowers, this versatile tree adds beauty and functionality to any garden. In warm climates, it produces small black berries that attract birds, though the primary appeal lies in its culinary and medicinal uses.

 

This hardy tree thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to Perth’s warm, Mediterranean climate. It performs best in well-drained soil and benefits from regular watering during the establishment phase. Once mature, it is drought-tolerant and requires minimal maintenance, making it an excellent choice for water-wise gardens. Pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages bushier growth, particularly if grown for leaf harvesting.

 

Ideal for home gardens, edible landscapes, and urban greenery, the Curry Leaf Tree typically reaches 3–6 meters in height and 2–4 meters in width at maturity. It is well-suited for container growing, allowing it to be easily managed in smaller spaces.
