I'm not sure how similar the "Hand of Buddha" citron is to the citron 
being described in the period recipes; I think it's a different 
species, although I'm not sure.

You can still get etrog citron trees--I have one, although it hasn't 
done very well. The fruit is used in one of the Jewish holidays. I 
suspect that's closer.
