Citrus Buddhas Hand
The Citrus Buddha’s Hand is a truly unique and visually striking citrus variety, known for its elongated, finger-like segments that resemble a hand in gesture. Unlike other citrus fruits, the Buddha’s Hand has little to no pulp or juice, but it is highly prized for its intensely aromatic rind, which exudes a sweet, lemon-like fragrance. This versatile fruit is perfect for zesting, making candied peels, infusing spirits, or adding a delightful citrus aroma to rooms. The Buddha’s Hand tree makes a stunning ornamental addition to any garden, offering fragrant white blossoms followed by its extraordinary fruit. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it an ideal choice for citrus enthusiasts and gardeners looking for something truly exotic.

As recommended by the Swiss Rose Garden Nursery.
- Dig a hole 60cm wide and 60cm deep. If the topsoil is usable, separate it from the sand as it can be re-used in the hole. When planting roses in an existing rose bed or where roses have been previously grown during the last 5 years, the soil must be replaced.
- Mix together a mixture that contains 2 parts topsoil, 2 parts compost, 1 part manure or buy a Soil Improver, Landscaping or Rose Soil mix from a Landscape supply place. About 100 litres per planting hole is recommended.
- A layer of manure can be placed at the bottom of the hole and then the hole filled with the above soil mix.
- Place one handful of slow-release fertilizer at 20cm depth from the top where the roots of the newly planted rose will be situated.
- Soak the soil thoroughly and lightly compact.
- Now plant the rose in this mix with the surface of the plant even with the surface of the prepared area, e.g., the graft union should be about 5 to 10 cm above soil level.
- Water every day for the first six months from October onwards, up to 10 litres per day during warm weather is recommended for strong deep root development.
- Plant roses 1m to 1.2m apart.
Enjoy the beautiful roses!
