Buddha's Hand (Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis)

Flowering time for my Fingered Citron or Buddha's Hand (Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis). Buddha's hand fruit is very fragrant and is used predominantly in China and Japan for perfuming rooms and personal items such as clothing. 



Buddha's hand fruit can also be eaten (often as a zest or flavouring) in desserts, savory dishes, and alcoholic beverages (such as vodka or rice liquor) or candied as a sweet. The sliced, dried peel of immature fruits is also prescribed as a tonic in traditional medicine. 💕🌱🌳



Outplanted from a marcotted specimen last September of 2023.
