Jimmy says... I see them every jewish holiday that needs them imported as fruit from Israel. I'm not jewish so not sure of its name ! That tends to make me think that either the limited market or climate in OZ is not suitable. But saying that citrus will grow in colder climates if you protetc them from frost and pick a warm area of the garden to plant them in. | About the Author 17th November 2011 10:22am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT1 says... Julie the kosher ones are used for Jewish religious ceremonies. They are a type of citron so thick but fragrant skin. Good for glacé peels and marmalade only; little flesh and juice. Mine is grafted so it's not kosher to start and being grown in close proximity to other citrus it might even be a hybrid. It is quite spectacular to look at and stays on the tree indefinitely. It was being marketed as 'lemon on steroid' though I'm sure there's no drug involved. :) | About the Author MaryT1 Sydney 20th August 2014 1:46pm #UserID: 7655 Posts: 296 View All MaryT1's Edible Fruit Trees |

BenW says... I have an established (5yrs) Buddha's hand and it survived around -5 degrees in a moderately sheltered spot. The outer leaves are a bit sad but it is otherwise fine, so I don't actually think it as sensitive as people say. My ertog was untouched, however that is in a pot next to the house, so it wouldn't have gotten hit so hard. Too much cold weather before they are ripe will make some fruit rot though. The citron is underrated as a vegetable (as opposed to flavouring), IMHO. I munch on Buddha's hand 'fingers' and you can use the pith as a vegetable (much better if you remove the rind). I've used it in stir frys and sticky sauces for pork or chicken and there are a load of recipes for citron salad on the web which I will have a go at. | About the Author BenW Kinglake West,3757,VIC 21st August 2014 7:30pm #UserID: 5390 Posts: 144 View All BenW's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT1 says... Thanks Nick; I'm not professional -in fact I barely know what I'm doing; just doing it anyway and learning as I go. Like most people, I imagine :) Here's the link for those who missed it: http://www.abc.net.au/gardening/stories/s4072376.htm | About the Author MaryT1 Sydney 26th August 2014 8:48am #UserID: 7655 Posts: 296 View All MaryT1's Edible Fruit Trees |

larryzweig says... Hello, great photo! I have a few Etrog Trees in pots. Winter inside and summer in the yard. The largest flowered (1 flower) 3 year ago, 2 ears ago several flowers, and last year a whole bunch. I got 3 Etrogim from it JUST IN TIME for Sukkot. Now it's winter (I'm in Germany) and I have lots of flowers. I didn't know what to look for last year, but it was Spring and the Bees knew what to do. Now…. no Bees. I don’t see what I can identify as a Pistil or Stigma on any of the flowers. I don’t know exactly if that’s bad, or whatever, but it makes it difficult to try and pollinate. On your flower I definitely see what I think is a Stigma, although you seem to be calling it a fruit. Do you know any more now? Can you steer me toward further information? Thanks.
