Citrus Medica – Citron / Cidra
This is a small evergreen tree or bush which measures between 2.5 and 5m high when fully grown. The leaves have short petioles and are simple, alternate, elliptic or spear-shaped, and can reach up to 18cm in length. It produces fragrant flowers of a substantial size, which can be white, purplish, and grow in bunches. It is quite similar to the lemon but a lot bigger. The inside of the fruit has less juice and more rind than the lemon and its aroma is highly valued.
