Do you mean a curry plant? In which case pretty much any mail order or garden centre.

Or do you mean the tree (or shrub or whatever it is) that curry leaves come from? In which case I haven't a clue - though India might be a good place to start! :lol:

curry powder is a compound of several different roots barks and spices ground together. You can buy a curry plant - a little low growing bush with a similar taste but snails love it too! so watch out!

Herbal Haven have curry plants, and they're well priced.

I don't know if they ever visit country shows in your area, but they do where i live at home, and they're really nice, knowledgeable people too.

They were giving me advice on planting a chamomile lawn, and the original idea was to get the chamomile to take over the grass. They didn't quite bet on the super snails living in my garden, or the dog that liked digging the chamomile to lay in it though...

curry plants and curry trees are totally different plants

I wouldn't mind growing my own curry leaves too.. what a great idea. I have a couple of cardamons - they wont produce seeds in the uk, but the leaves are useful.

I read you can grow curry (leaf) trees from seed - so many worth trying to seach for some of them?

if you find a source.. let us know..

Does anyone know what the real name for curry leaves is? I've never seen them called anything else.
