    I’m doing the poor man’s version of that, with a single tree. Rootstock is Sicilian lemon, one of the branches is grafted rangpur, and I’m trying to graft mandarines and oranges into it.

    I do want finger lemons and Buddha’s hand, like in the article. Soon® I’ll get those.

    Buddha’s hand is fairly well known.
