The peel of Citrus × bergamia – Bergamot Orange releases a strong bergamot scent when rubbed or damaged. The plant has glossy evergreen leaves, scented white flowers and fruit that ripens yellow to greenish yellow and can be rounded or slightly pear-shaped.
Bergamot orange grows as a woody shrub or small tree in a pot. Give it outdoor sun in the frost-free months, a draining citrus substrate, steady watering around the roots and a cool, frost-free winter place.
Bergamot is sold under the name Citrus × bergamia and is valued for its peel, which carries the sharp, floral citrus scent associated with bergamot.
Bergamot peel, leaves and aromatic oils can irritate pets if plant material is eaten. Keep peel, fallen leaves and fruit out of reach, and wash hands after handling damaged peel or fresh cuts.
