FREE DRUG SAVINGS CARD http://WallyButler.info http://WallyButler.us Growing Buddha's Hand, Buddha's Hand citron, or Fingered citron. - Buddha's Hand, Buddha's Hand citron, or Fingered citron (Citrus medica var. sarcodactylus) is a fragrant citron variety whose fruit is segmented into finger-like sections.

The citron grows on a shrub or small tree with long, irregular branches covered in thorns. Its large, oblong leaves are pale green and grow about four to six inches. Its white flowers are tinted purplish from the outside and grow in fragrant clusters.

The fruit has a thick peel and only a small amount of acidic flesh (if any) and is juiceless and sometimes seedless. It is very fragrant and is used predominantly by the Chinese and Japanese for perfuming rooms and personal items, such as clothing.

The peel of the fruit can be candied into succade. In Western cooking, it is often used for its zest. The inner white pith is not bitter as is usually the case with citrus, so the fingers may be cut off and then longitudinally sliced, peel pith and all, and used in salads or scattered over cooked foods such as fish.

  • How old is your tree?

    My Buddha`s hand has its first fruits this year. But I think the tree is too small so the fruits will become too heavy and fall off.

  • Can I buy a mature one with viable seeds in it from you?

  • Interesting, I just discovered these by going to a super market that has a tropical exotic section near my house near Washington DC, they sold for $8.99 a pop! I think you can only grow these in southern climates like southern California.

  • i grow these too
