Bergamot Orange Tree (Citrus bergamia)

Bergamot Orange is prized for its fragrant rind and aromatic oil that imparts the distinctive flavor to Earl Grey tea, a black tea that’s infused with oil from the rind. This fragrant citrus is grown throughout the Mediterranean and it’s an excellent subject for container growing. The yellow-green fruit has a tangy flavor that can be eaten as a lemon. Bergamot citrus is primarily grown for its highly aromatic rind that’s used for flavoring, essential oil and perfume. It’s a must-have variety for anyone who values aromatic edibles. This is a grafted plant that blooms and fruits sooner. Available in a 4" pot.
