SV: Citron
They don't grow outdoors in New York. In Norway, they
would only grow in a greenhouse.

Neither does any other citrus fruit, but you can still buy them in the
stores. I think he was asking whether any citron fruits might be in shops in
New York -- shipped in from warmer climes. Is this citron the same thing as
what the French call bergamot?

No, (according to Mabberley) what the French call bergamot is Citrus
aurantium ssp bergamia as opposed to what is bergamot in the US which is a
cultivar of Citrus aurantium ssp aurantium.
Citrus medica is supposed to be one of the real species of Citrus as opposed
to most of the others which are hybrids
