Buddha's hand, literal translation from the chinese name "佛手“ Citrus medica L.var.saecodactylis Swingle. I have seen these before but always wondered if they will do well here let alone fruit. I saw one of these on sale at the 58 market plant/flower stall (corner stall next to the fruit stall) run by Ben and his wife. A small crowd had gathered and was looking at it obviously attracted by the novelty of this uncommon specimen and a couple of large fruits on the plant. As I was carrying quite a few things and my hands were full, said to myself "i will buy it if its still here when i come back..... "
I now have 3 in my garden :)
