Buddha’s Hand Citron Tree: A Unique Addition to Your Garden
The Buddha’s Hand Citron Tree, scientifically known as Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis, is an exotic citrus tree that stands out for its unique fruit. The fruit, often referred to as the ‘hand of Buddha’, is a sight to behold with its long, finger-like structures curling outward, forming what looks like bright yellow hands throughout your tree.
The tree itself is a sturdy, upright citrus tree with deep green leaves. It can reach heights of up to 20 feet and has long spiky thorns. The leaves are oblong, slightly rumpled, and serrate. Blossoms, as well as new leaves, are tinted with purple, as are the immature fruits. The mature fruit attains a size of between 6-12 inches long and matures in late fall to early winter.
The Buddha’s Hand fruit is typically yellow or pale green in color, and has a thin, bumpy peel that is covered in small oil glands. Unlike other citrons, there is little to no juicy pulp inside the leathery rind. However, it is rife with essential oils responsible for its heavenly lavender-citrus scent. This makes the fruit an ideal natural air freshener and is also used to perfume cosmetics.
The Buddha’s Hand Citron Tree is extremely frost sensitive and can only be grown where there is no chance of frost or in a greenhouse. It requires well-drained and rich soil for it to develop well.
This tree is not just a plant, it’s a conversation starter. Its unique appearance and fragrant aroma make it a must-have for any garden enthusiast. So why wait? Add this unique citrus tree to your garden today and let the Buddha’s Hand Citron Tree be the talk of your neighborhood!
