Bergamot is the common name for several varieties of pears with a flat, as if flattened, shape of the fruit. In the USSR, several varieties were bred: in the west - sapeyanka , or Polish bergamot, which was of local importance, as it poorly tolerated transportation; in the center - red bergamot, resistant to climate change, in the south and south-west - olive tree, large, persistent autumn bergamot.
