Botany, Cultivation & Harvesting:  The evergreen bitter orange tree bears dark-green, leathery leaves and, on its young branches, thin, flexible thorns which can be up to 3 (8 cm) long. The tree can reach a height of up to 26 feet (8 meters). Its white, five-petalled flowers give off an intense fragrance. Unusually, not all flowers have the female pistil (consisting of ovary, style and stigma) as well as the male stamens: some flowers have only male stamens. The fruit of the bitter orange is very similar to the sweet orange, but is smaller with a diameter of only 2.75-3(7-8 cm). The sphere is slightly flattened and the skin is thicker and more dimpled than that of the sweet orange. The fruit flesh tastes sour, while the peel and the skin surrounding the fruit segments have a strong bitter taste. Around the Mediterranean the ripe bitter oranges are harvested in January and February.

Neroli essential oil is made from the flowers of the bitter orange tree. After planting, it can take at least five years before the first flowers can be harvested, and another five years for the tree to reach full production. Neroli flowers are usually hand-picked between late April and early May. The flowers are delicate, so even the slightest bruising can cause them to release their oil. Neroli oil is extracted from the flowers using steam distillation. It can take about a thousand pounds of flowers to produce one bottle of pure oil.

Petitgrain essential oil is made from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree.
