Default Citrus medica 'Buddha's Hand'

Great excitement down here - Ray has successfully propagated about half a
dozen of these from the small plant I gave him in March *and* the parent
plant has lots of new fruits on it in varying sizes. They aren't used for
culinary purposes much - apart from candying the peel - but are used to
scent houses in Japan and China, apparently. The perfume of the fruit is
outstanding.
