Punica granatum ‘Ben Hur’ (Ben Hur Pomegranate)

Punica granatum ‘Ben Hur’ (Ben Hur Pomegranate) is an exceptional fruiting variety prized for its remarkably large harvests, producing impressive fruits weighing up to 1–1.5 kg each. The arils are a vibrant, deep red with a sweet, juicy flavour, making this variety a favourite among home gardeners who enjoy fresh eating, juicing, and adding colour to salads and desserts.

This hardy, adaptable pomegranate is semi-deciduous to deciduous depending on climate and grows well in pots or in the ground. Once established, it forms a bushy, attractive tree covered in striking red blossoms before setting its oversized fruit. Easy to maintain and self-pollinating, ‘Ben Hur’ is ideal for productive gardens and small spaces alike.
