    Hi Josephal,

    yes am aware that there is one of each and i do intend to use for cooking , seems people do use both to cook  with but more so with the leaves from the bush i understand.... here we do not have a kings barn to go to and palmers garden centre did not have them, thanks for info , helen

    By the way - Anyone out there got helpful tips for growing GINGER while i am here on line  .... I have 3 small pieces with sprouts/corms  to try and grow ... all ideas welcome to make them grow faster ...!

    Hi

    You can probable fine it at your local Kings plant barn, in the Herb section! but if you want it to use in cooking curry, Curry is a mix of spices from any number of spices up to 20 different ones! But the only spice they never put into curry is the curry spice! Strange I know but true!

    I have a curry herb bush - its a few years old.. This is the one you mean, right?  http://www.mountainvalleygrowers.com/heltalicum.htm

    I am in the Waikato. You are more than welcome to a cutting/s of mine. 

    Just PM me. :-)

      I am going to be awful and ask both people who have replied for a couple of cuttings on the off chance that one is a better grower! Maybe  if you have an old seed head as well  i could try from seed too   Thanks so much : my address is 50 robinson cres , napier.

      Anything i can exchange with you , I  really only have marigolds and hollyhock seeds right now but you are most welcome to some, and  a few trumpet pepper seeds, thanks so much for reply , I have been trying for about two years ...so today is a great day now....thanks again, h

    Curry herb or the Indian curry leaf tree? Presume you mean tree. You should be able to get a curry leaf tree from trademe or if you are passing Auckland might be lucky to find in Indian stores. Not sure how it would do in colder climates.
