Punica granatum (Pomegranate - Velles) is a moderately vigorous, deciduous shrub producing large, sweet-and-sour bright red fruits, ideal for fresh eating, juice, grenadine, and culinary uses. Its thick-skinned fruits store exceptionally well in the refrigerator, retaining texture, colour, and flavour for months
Suitable for garden beds or large containers, this hardy pomegranate thrives in a sheltered sunny spot with deep, loamy soil rich in organic matter. Its bright orange flowers bloom from May to July, attracting pollinators, while the plant itself is highly disease- and frost-tolerant once established
