Surh-Anor Pomegranate

Surh-Anor Pomegranate

A very cold hardy and productive pomegranate, Surh-Anor produces amazing crops of pinkish yellow poms with bright yellow arils that have an extremely sweet flavor. Ripens fairly early but will still need the hottest location possible in cooler climates.

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. They 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 past couple of 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.
