It produces branches of regular Florentine citron including such leaves, and from the other side branches of sour orange. The middle shoot mixes characteristics of both and the fruit exhibits characteristics of both the citron and orange.

Graft chimerism contrasts with somatic hybridization which is due to plant sexuality; its offspring is intermediate, showing influences of both parental plants. The Florentine Bizzaria, on the other hand, displays an unusual fruit which distinctly expresses characteristics from each plant in close proximity.

The plant's name has a number of different spellings, e.g. Bizaria,[1] Bizzarria,[2] Bizarria,[3] and even Bizarre.[4]

Discovery

The Bizzaria was discovered in 1640 by Pietro Nati at the villa named Torre degli Agli, which belonged to the wealthy Panciatichi banking family. The Bizzaria was thought to be lost but was rediscovered in the 1970s by Paolo Galleotti, the head gardener of the Villa di Castello and of the Boboli Gardens in Florence.[5]
