>"Curry plant" (Murraya koenigii) is a small tropical tree which is related
to Citrus (which is the reason it is illegal to import fresh curry leaaves
into USA, due to Citrus diseases the curry leaves could carry into this
country that could wipe out our Citrus industry).
I have a curry plant that I bought 3 years ago from Park Seed Co. it was
labeled as just that. It is a small bushy plant with needle like leaves
similar to rosemary but lighter greenish gray in color and smells just like
curry. I have added it to food and gives a mild curry taste. It is a
perennial and have planted it outside. We have frosts in the winter and its
hasn't killed it yet. Is there another kind of curry plant that is related
to the citrus? Or is what I have not a curry plant?
