A Buddha’s Hand (Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis) is an ancient variety of citron. I’ve found them hard to grow. Indoors, they’re particularly susceptible to mites and aphids. Outdoors, they can’t handle a full day of direct sun, and they’ll drop their buds and flowers if they dry out. Nonetheless, I usually manage to grow one or two fruits per year. This one  is nearly ripe — I love the way it ripens by inches![image error]
