The best known fruiting pomegranate variety produces large deep purple-red fruit with deep crimson juicy flesh, which is very high in antioxidants. Good for juicing and eating fresh. The tree is vigorous and productive, with stunning flowers. Pomegranates grow best in areas with cold Winters and long hot, dry Summers. The fruit may not ripen if the summer season is too cool or too short. Pomegranates are one of the latest known superfoods with high levels of antioxidents, vitamin C, potassium, folic acid, fiber and are sugar free!. While the trees are hardy down to -5˚C, the fruit needs a long summer season to fully ripen so are best suited to warmer areas of the country.

Tree grows like a shrub and is very drought, pest and disease resistant once established. Established trees respond well to yearly mulching. Plant in sunny warm sites that has well drained soil.

Expect fruit once tree reaches 3 years old. Fruit takes 5-7 months to ripen after bloom. Fruit ripens during February - April and borne from new growth on tips. Fruit has long storage life (up to 7 months).
