Two citrus relatives

I’m growing two citrus relatives here. Top tree is wampee. It makes a nickel sized small fruit with a big seed. It tastes pleasant. Will keep in pot. A friend from Cambodia grafted this tree for me. I try to minimize growing tropicals as I don’t like dragging them into my garage for every freeze!

The bottom tree is Indian curry leaf. A friend gave me a seedling. It is root hardy here near Houston as it doesn’t like freezes. I’ll plant my tree in the ground next year. It is used in South Indian cooking. Tastes medicinal to me. I see lots of these trees in back yards in late summer as we have around 25% Asian population here in Fort Bend County Texas. Winter kills them to the roots.

Is that the one I sometimes see referred to as “Kaffir lime”?

Hi. No, kaffir lime is the citrus histrix.
