It is found mostly in hot [[climate]]s, and is a [[native plant]] of [[India]]. The [[leaf|leave]]s of the curry tree are called curry leaves or sweet Neem leaves. Usually, curry trees grow to 4-6 [[metre]]s tall, and their trunk grows to 40 [[centimetre]]s in [[diameter]]. Small black, shiny [[Berry|berries]] that grow on the tree can be [[eaten]], but their [[Seed|seeds]] are [[poison]]ous. The [[scientific name]] of the curry tree, ''Murraya koenegii'', was chosen to celebrate the [[botanist]] [[Johann Gerhard König]], who worked for a long time in [[India]]. == References == {{reflist}} {{Commonscat|Murraya koenigii}} {{Herbs & spices}} [[Category:Rutaceae]] [[Category:Trees]]
