It is best to plant your Bergamot tree in a container so that you can keep it outside on the patio in the summer sun, but when the temperatures drop you can move it to a cool greenhouse or conservatory to protect it from frosts.
It enjoys plenty of sunlight and growing in a slightly acidic soil
Water as soon as the soil is dry and keep it away from radiators if you bring it into the conservatory
During the growing season regularly apply a liquid fertiliser
In spring pure white flowers appear with yellow centres and a lovely fragrance
After the flowers fade and fall the fruits start to develop and grow, changing from dark green to orange/lemon nobbly, large pear-shaped fruits
They ripen between November and March
After the harvest you can lightly prune your plant to keep a tidy shape
The peel from the oranges contains many essential oils and can be used for flavouring teas or making fragrance oils
The juice can be used in drinks and flavouring food and casseroles like tagines
The fruit can be made into jam or marmalade
5 litre pot
