Characteristics and uses:
The Bergamot orange is widely used for pastry, perfume making, or in tea. The beautiful, melliferous, deliciously scented white flowers start to bloom in April and are followed by green, then yellow, fruit.
The fruit cannot be eaten right off the tree, as its pulp is very acidic and bitter. It must be cooked and used to give flavour to dishes, or in jams.
This citrus appreciates sun and warmth and will thrive when planted in a container or planter. In colder regions, it must be sheltered in a sunroom or a non-heated room during winter.
