It grows densely with glossy, dark green leaves to about 3 m tall and the same width and can be trimmed as necessary. The Buddha's Hand tree is commonly grown as an interesting shrub with the fruit used to decorate bowls and platters, or sliced for drinks. It can also be maintained in a large container.
