I recently looked around for good value, quality Kaffir plants and came across Colonial Growers. How well that turned out! Best thing I ever did! The plants were all delivered safely and securely and well packaged the next day and what great value and quality, I can't praise this company high enough.
I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for our beautiful Kaffir Lime plant. It has flourished more than my expectations and I am as happy as one could be! Many thanks for such a fabulous specimen.
My kaffir plant and olive oil arrived this morning, great service, great plant.
Thank you.
Belated thanks for the arrival of the kaffir plants. They have now both stretched out following transportation and they are looking fantastic - I'm delighted.
My plant arrived all safe and sound. Amazing specimen thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
I would like to thank you for the prompt and safe delivery of my kaffir plant. It is a beautiful example, far better than I imagined. I had been cautious about buying on line, wrongly it seems. Please use this as assurance to prospective customers of the quality they would receive.
I received my mature kaffir lime plant today. It arrived in perfect condition and the care instructions you sent me are great.
Thank you so much for such a quick and efficient service. I will recommend your company to anyone who enquires..
I just wanted to say thanks for my kaffir and lemon plants, they are perfect and I smile each time I look at them. Couldn't have arrived any quicker either. Thoroughly recommended!
Great Service: I was kept informed about delivery and all my questions were answered promptly. Best of all the plants are fabulous - I can't wait to have my own lemons and limes!
Just a short note to say how pleased I am with the kaffir plant, a nice looking healthy mature bush. A real pleasure to deal with you.
Just a quick email to say a huge thank you for the magnificent kaffir lime plant which arrived here this morning. Superb Quality!
Can't wait to try the kaffir lime olive oil!
I received my mature kaffir lime tree today and it's brilliant.
Furthermore, it arrived in just three days in Guernsey as promised in the middle of the lock down. Fantastic service!
My plant arrived safe and sound and in double quick time. Thank you so much on all counts. It is a spectacular plant and will be very much loved. It was my wife's 50th birthday present...and she can cook a mean Thai curry. Happy days!!
Thank you for the delivery of a fantastic plant in perfect condition. It's so lovely I have just ordered another one for my Mum.
The plants arrived yesterday and I just wanted to drop you a note to say how happy I was with them, well packaged, no damage in transit and in great condition as promised.
Just a note to say how delighted I am with my plant which arrived this morning. I wasn't expecting such a beautifully mature plant. Pleasure doing business with you - if only other mail order plant suppliers were this good!
Just to say thank you for an excellent service - the plants arrived in great condition and are doing well a month later! The kaffir lime olive oil is really delicious - I was a little sceptical at first but the flavours work together brilliantly and a little goes a long way!
Thanks again and I am looking forward to some tasty fruit in the coming years.
I made a decision to purchase a kaffir lime plant and despite the lock down, I received a friendly response to my enquiry and the plant arrived well packaged by courier next day. The plant was in a beautiful condition and arrived without damage. I couldn't have been happier and highly recommend Colonial Growers!
Just to say thank you for an amazing and beautiful kaffir plant which arrived this afternoon. It has really made my day and is most appreciated.
I adore the flavour of kaffir lime leaves but always struggled to find them fresh. I decided to invest in my own plants. They were hand delivered by Colonial Growers along with a free bottle of their utterly devine olive oil. Trust me this stuff is amazing and it comes in a lovely plastic free bottle.
What a great service we received. Colonial Growers couldn't have been more helpful in arranging our order of a kaffir plant to Guernsey - not the easiest place to deliver to! A beautiful plant arrived very swiftly. Can't wait to order from them again as the service was great and felt very personal.
Despite not having green fingers, my kaffir plant is thriving one year on. The first flowers appeared in April and by mid summer I was pulling buds off by the handful to restrict the amount turning to fruit. The smell was glorious!
I have also used many leaves for cooking and I am looking forward to another productive year. Thank you so much.
I purchased my kaffir lime plant in December and it arrived very promptly. I positioned it near a patio door in my living room and is looking wonderful. It is extremely healthy and I am delighted to see it is producing lots of new growth and also has small flower buds appearing. I couldn't be happier with my gorgeous kaffir lime and it puts my expensive lemon tree bought from a garden centre to shame!
Thank you so much for your prompt service, my plant arrived early this morning and is in great condition and well packaged. Highly recommended thank you!
Wonderful kaffir plant simply bursting with new buds and growth - arrived in a well packaged box and had lost remarkably few leaves in transit. Thank you!
A good sized healthy looking kaffir plant arrived quickly only a day after ordering it and in effective packaging .It is still looking healthy and happy and the fresh leaves are so much more aromatic than those from the supermarket.
My kaffir lime and lemon plants together with my UK grown fresh lime leaves arrived in excellent condition within two days of ordering.They far exceeded my expectations and were larger and more mature than I expected and the large lemon on the plant was an added bonus. 5 star service!
I'm new to kaffir plants and I wanted to say how delighted I am with it.
I ordered a mature plant which arrived in perfect condition and well packaged. In the 6 weeks I have had it, it has put on at least 20% growth and is full of blossom clusters and the leaves have the most wonderful aroma. Special thanks to Len Atkins who has been most helpful.
I'm pleased to report my kaffir plant arrived this morning as you hoped and I am extremely pleased with it. I shall be recommending you to all my gardening and cooking friends. You have given me excellent service and I am most grateful to you!
Thank you so much for the delivery of fresh kaffir leaves and the kaffir olive oil - they are fantastic.
The olive oil tastes gorgeous and the fresh leaves are amazing.
I didn't realise how real fresh leaves would be - thank you!
Your beautiful mature kaffir lime plant arrived this morning. We are completely thrilled as it is such a healthy looking plant and it is coming to a good home! Thank you so much.
Just wanted to share with you photos of our kaffir plant we purchased from you a year ago. As you can see it is thriving, plenty of fruits and still flowering. We are amazed, thank you.
Thank you so much for a great service which went way above my expectation. Can't thank you enough. Highly recommended.
Regards: Alan.
I ordered my kaffir plant just before Easter and was immediately advised my plant would be despatched following the holiday so as not to be stuck in transit for several days. The plant duly arrived at 8.30am on the due day and was a superb, healthy, large plant, well packed and in great condition. Detailed instructions were supplied on how to care and grow my plant. First class all round service from Colonial Growers.
We offer fresh options for both kaffir lime leaves and kaffir lime fruit. If you are not looking for fresh kaffir lime leaves or fruit, then maybe we can interest you in UK grown kaffir lime trees. Learn more on our Order Process page.
