Buddha's Hand Citron Tree

Buddha's Hand Citron Tree thrives in a frost-free and sunny location. Plant your Buddha's Hand Citron tree in well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter and kept moist, but not waterlogged.

Proper watering is key to the success of your Buddha's Hand Citron Tree. It is important to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season, but avoid overwatering as this can cause root rot. Apply Gardner & Bloome 8-4-2 Organic Citrus & Fruit Tree Fertilizer in the spring. Avoid fertilizing in the winter months, as this can cause new growth that is susceptible to frost damage.

Pruning can help shape the tree and increase fruit production. Prune any damaged, dead, or diseased branches, and remove any suckers that grow from the base of the tree. If you desire a more compact tree, you can also prune the tips of the branches during winter to encourage bushier growth.

Buddha's Hand Citron Tree is very sensitive to cold temperatures and frost, so it is important to protect the tree during the winter months. Cover the tree with a frost blanket or move it to a sheltered location when temperatures drop below 32°F. 

Buddha's Hand Citron Tree is a unique and fascinating plant to grow, and with proper care and attention, it can thrive and produce healthy fruit. The mature height and fruit production of your citrus tree will depend on several environmental factors such as climate, light exposure, pruning practices, and also soil type, texture, fertility and moisture.
