Buddha's Hand or Citron
Description
Also known as the Fingered Citron, this unusual and fragrant
citrus fruit is split into a number of finger-like sections, somewhat resembling
a human hand. It has been prized for centuries in China and Japan, where it is
used for perfuming rooms and clothing, and in religious ceremonies.

The fruit has a yellow rind when mature, and contains no flesh, juice or seeds.
Although Buddha's Hand is popular for its ornamental value, the rind of the
fruit is also eaten in some Asian countries. The tree has large leathery leaves,
and has thorns. Trees are small and can be grown in a container. Citrons are
sensitive to frost (more sensitive than lemons), and will require a warm
frost-free site.
