I went to a nursery yesterday, with the intention to buy a chinotto or a meyer lemon tree. But I returned with a buddha's hand instead!

There were plenty of chinottos available but all were kinda small and I wanted a tree with reasonable size. The meyer lemons on the other hand were all sold out...

I didn't want to leave with empty hands, so I picked a nice looking buddha's hand tree instead.

The man of the nursery told me buddha's hand cannot stand full sun. Is he right?

I found another interesting species at the nursery. I already wrote about my blood clementine tree here (which I bought in another nursery). But at this nursery they had a "ruby red clementine"! These plants were still very small. I can't remember if they had flowers but there were no fruits. The picture on the tag on the plants showed a purplish red fruit. Yet another plant to look forward to! If only I had some more room...
