Pomegranate Bundle
Grow your own Pomegranate shrubs with our bundle which includes the following 4 varieties:
1 x Cranberry Pomegranate
A wonderful new pomegranate developed by the University of California, Cranberry Pomegranate features deep red, (cranberry colored you might say), skin with bright red arils. Fruits are medium sized with mild acidity and very flavorful. Ripens mid to late season so recommended mostly for warmer climates or in hot microclimates further north.
1 x Granada Pomegranate
Granada is thought to be either a bud sport or seedling of Wonderful pomegranate and is almost identical to Wonderful but is earlier ripening, even sweeter and thought to be a bit more cold hardy. Plants are very productive but still require a long warm season to ripen large crops.
1 x Eve Pomegranate
A superb introduction from the University of California, Eve pomegranate produces very large, bright red fruits with dark red arils. The flavor is excellent and has been described by people like Big Steve as cherry slurpy-esque. Ripens mid-season so is recommended for warmer climates.
1 x Red Silk Pomegranate
An aptly named pomegranate, Red Silk produces medium to large fruits with a beautiful dark red skin and red arils. A naturally dwarfing bush, it will only reach about 6’ in height with a spreading habit.
Beautiful fruit bearing shrubs, Pomegranates are widely grown in Central Asia, the Middle East and in California and the South. Pomegranates produce beautiful, bright-red flowers throughout the summer, followed by flavorful and healthy, orange-red fruit. Pomegranates set the best fruit in warmer areas outside the Northwest, but we have been receiving quite a few reports from friends in the area that have been getting fruit over the last couple years.
Pomegranates like full to half day sun and can grow in most soils. They are pest and disease resistant, self-fertile and hardy to 12 degrees F., or below. Our varieties often begin blooming the 1st or 2nd year after planting.
