Esrog trees- Lakewood $12
« on: September 25, 2017, 10:11:07 PM »
I have a few esrog trees for sale that I grew from seeds a few years back. 4-6 foot trees. I have too many to bring inside the house this winter so I'm looking to sell a few....

Can you describe briefly what is involved in caring for them?

Would love to hear.
If you focus on being a boss, you will never be a leader. Leaders lead people to growth and improvement.

Esrogei California Chazon Ish kivelevitch. I'm not an expert but keep them indoors near my patio door in the winter since citrus trees are not cold hardy, and on the deck in the summer and they are flourishing. Getting them to grow esrogim can be done but I understand it takes some work, but the plants look nice and when you rub the leaves they smell like esrog.....

Are they Chazon Ish or Kivelevitch?

My mistake. I assumed kivelevitch was a zan Chazon ish but I see it is a subset of Braverman.

"These Esrogim were attested to by Rabbi Yehoshua Leib Diskin, the Brisker Rav, who upon seeing a certain Esrog tree remarked "This is my tree". From this tree the Braverman family established their stock in Petach Tikva. A sub-strain of Braverman is the KIVILEVITZ variety."

I would love to get some from you but won't be going near Lakewood anytime soon. How big are the pots? How long before they outgrow the pot?
I'm an optimist; but only because life isn't going to give me any other good choices.

You may have never heard of growing etrog citron, as it is generally too acidic for most people’s taste buds

This is a huge misconception. The edible part of the esrog is the rind, not the pulp. And the rind is delicious

Sounds like an interesting novelty plant, I'd probably like one too. I just have to run it by the wife

Doesn't the rind have to be soaked for months before becoming edible? I'd assume the reason for that is to lower the level of acidity.

They also write that it dates back to 8,000 B.C., that's definitely a misconception :)

The mishna discussed how they would bite right into it. Nowadays you can just blanch it in boiling water for a few minutes to soften it. There are several recipes online. Search Citron or Buddha's hand recipes
