Citrus × bergamia (Bergamot Orange)Bergamot forms a small to medium evergreen citrus with large pointed leaves and a crown that can spread as its woody branches mature. The shoots are usually sparsely thorned to thornless, with glossy foliage around fragrant white flowers.The fruit varies from rounded to broadly pear-shaped and changes from green to yellow as it ripens. Its slightly rough rind contains the intense perfume that defines bergamot; the pale flesh inside is strongly acidic with a lightly bitter finish, so the aromatic peel is the part for which the plant is best known.
