Description

Extraordinary fruit! Possibly the most unique you'll ever grow... Citrus 'Buddha's Hand' produces golden yellow, long finger-like lobes, with each fruit resembling an open hand.

The fragrance is astonishing. Intensely zesty, like lemon, yet layered with complex floral notes. Brush past it and the scent fills the air. For centuries in Asia, these fruits have symbolised happiness and prosperity and have been valued simply for their perfume.

There is no pulp or juice, with thick aromatic rind packed with oil glands instead. Grate it like lemon zest and use it in desserts, savoury dishes, drinks or infusions.

Add to that glossy evergreen foliage and clusters of waxy white flowers, often flushed purple beneath, releasing sweet perfume through the year.

Keep this frost sensitive citrus plant in a sheltered spot, such as a conservatory, from autumn to spring, before soaking in the sun on the patio in summer.

Supplied as an established plant in a 4 litre pot, ready to plant.

Top Tips
  • Best grown in a big planter on a sunny patio all summer, before moving to a frost-free spot from autumn to spring. Or, create an eye-catching indoor feature by keeping it in your conservatory all year round.
Care Information
  • In summer, water freely - ideally using rainwater, while in winter you can reduce the amount - allowing the surface to partially dry out before watering again. Always allow excess water to drain away.
  • Our beautiful Mediterranean citrus trees are grown in a slightly heavier growing medium, so be sure to take care when watering. Be sure not to overwater, as with all your plants, but also make sure not to allow the soil to dry out.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
