Can anyone give me a mail order source for a buddha's Hand Citron in TX. It has to be a TX grower by law.
Thanks,

I don't know where Fergies is. http://www.fergiesnursery.com/Fruit_Trees.html
You might be able to find them at a box store too.
Yer welcome
;)
I bought one at Greengate nursery in Seguin last spring. That shouldn't be far from you.
Fergie's Nursery is in Georgia. Citrus can't be imported into Texas. You need to buy from within the state.
www.jerrysjungle.com He is located in Houston, Texas. He did have 1 of these for sale when I was there helping out at his garden sale just this past April..You can call him or send an email...
Here are some Texas citrus sellers, maybe they can stir you to someone that sells the buddha hand. I hope you can find it. It is definietly a joy to grow.

Thanks to all, especially bigbubbles. A lady at Garden Gate had one in the " back-forty" and she gave it to me. I put it in a large pot of Vortex Potting soil and it is blooming and leafing-out already.
Happy gardening.
Hey...I paid $20. for mine there! I wanna go shopping with you next time! I had 8 or 9 huge fruits this December, but I didn't know what to do with them. Finally cut them off and tossed them. I know they can be candied or added to vodka as a flavoring...but I just liked 'em because they were so unusual.
The fruits are good for baking and cooking when you need lemon flavor from zest such as lemon custard. They are unusual.
