Buddha's Hand with "big" fruits?

(1/1)

apullin:
Hi folks.
I was curious to know - is there a place I might be able to find the variants of Buddha's Hand that produce the large fruits?
In this YouTube video, which I'm sure everyone here has watched, they show VERY large fruits:

I have a couple of small "dwarf" trees that I was able to opportunistically get locally - even one from Costco.
They do grow fruits, but they are fairly small, maybe 4-5" tops in the longest dimension.

Although, perhaps, I am revealing my own limited knowledge here - I only have teeny dwarf trees, but maybe the fruit size scales up with the size of the tree and root system?
Should I try grafting a scion onto a larger lemon tree?

I might also make a post in the buy/sell part of the forum, if that's the next best thing to do.

Nick C:
Size of the tree and age will most likely improve the size of the fruits. Also consider that these tree throw out all kinds of shapes and sizes at random

These fruits were both off my tree in the same year
