In the greenhouses of this garden there are tropical, subtropical plants, collections of ferns, palms, citrus fruits and even ancient varieties of the latter.

The collection is made of the best known citrus varieties such as orange, lemon, cedar, chinotto, grapefruit but also peculiar ones like orange citron, rose apple, Turkish orange and lamia.

The true peculiarity is the “Bizzarria”, a hybrid originating from the graft found in Florence in the XVII century, which bears fruit in different ways every year.
