Frequently asked questions
Buddha's Hand Lemon
Is this a juicy lemon for squeezing?
No. It is valued mainly for its aromatic rind and unusual fruit form, with little or no juicy pulp.
Will every fruit have identical fingers?
No. Finger length, separation and shape vary naturally between fruit.
Will it arrive with fruit?
Fruit depends on the batch and season; the listing does not guarantee a fruiting crop.
Does more feed mean more fruit?
No. Light, roots, maturity and pollination matter too; follow the product label and growth stage.
