The Citron tree is a large, aromatic citrus tree known for its thick, bumpy-skinned fruit. Unlike other citrus fruits, the citron has very little juice or pulp and is primarily valued for its fragrant rind, which is used in cooking, candied, or for making zest. The tree has shiny green leaves and produces fragrant white or pale purple flowers, making it a beautiful addition to gardens. It grows best in warm, sunny climates and can be harvested in the winter. The citron is prized for its unique aroma and is often used in traditional recipes and for medicinal purposes.
