Botany
Native to the Far East, the bitter orange tree has adapted well to the climate of the Mediterranean regions, where it is widely cultivated. Also known as the "melangolo", it is a small evergreen tree up to ten meters tall with smooth branches, featuring oval, glossy dark green leaves, long thorns, and fragrant white flowers. The fruit is smaller and darker than that of the common sweet orange. Highly disease-resistant, it is widely used for grafting with other citrus plants.
