| BERGAMOT (Citrus bergamia) |

Often referred to as bergamot orange, the fruit looks more like a lime or lemon and has no resemblance to an orange at all. The fruit has an acidic taste and very aromatic.

| CHINOTTO (Citrus myrtifolia) |
| |
This compact shrub has small pointed leaves unlike any other citrus. Fruits very heavily every year with masses of orange coloured fruit that are about golf ball size. The fruit often form in clusters and resemble a bunch of grapes on the weeping branches. The fruit is sour and used to make the Italian drink of the same name, ‘Chinotto’. Makes a great pot specimen. |
