Tree id
« on: October 12, 2016, 09:49:01 pm »
Anybody know what kind of tree this is? The fruit smelled like oranges but was a little more bitter than an orange and it had lots of small seeds in it. It had big thorns about an inch and a half long all over it.

Poncirus trifoliata, hardy orange. There is a cool cultivar called "Flying Dragon" with contorted branches and thorns.

Bob, the Bergamont I know is bee balm or Monarda, a wildflower in the mint family.

The tree I'm talking about is the Citrus Begamia, a possible hybrid of the Citrus limetta or Citrus Aurantium.

Flying Dragon is a very cool variety of this plant. I got cuttings of the Flying Dragon from The North Carolina Arboretum in Raleigh years ago but none of my cuttings made it.
