Yes, bergamot citrus can be grown from suitable seeds. Use fresh seeds from a reliably identified source and sow them in a warm, well-drained growing medium. Keep the medium evenly moist without waterlogging it. Seed-grown trees may take several years to produce fruit, and the resulting fruit may differ from the parent tree.
A bergamot citrus tree grown from seed may take several years to reach flowering and fruiting maturity, and the timing can vary considerably with growing conditions. Sunlight, warmth, nutrition, and overall plant health influence development. Seed-grown trees are less predictable than grafted trees of a known cultivar.
Bergamot citrus may be grown in a container where conditions are suitable. Choose a pot with drainage holes and a well-drained citrus growing mix. Place the plant in the sunniest available location, provide adequate light indoors, and avoid overwatering. Protect the tree from cold drafts and monitor for pests.
