Grow Your Own Wonderful Pomegranate Tree

The Wonderful Pomegranate (Punica granatum) is a popular choice for home gardeners. This plant plug will grow into a beautiful tree, providing you with delicious, edible fruit. You’ll receive one small tissue culture plant/plug, with its root ball carefully wrapped to maintain moisture. Get ready to enjoy the rewards of growing your own fruit!

This variety is known for its extra-large fruit with blushed red skin and juicy, rich red flesh. The sharp-tart flavor is prized worldwide. The pomegranate tree is attractive in any landscape and is known for its longevity. Plant it as an ornamental shrub or tree in parks and gardens.

The flowers are showy and add a decorative touch to your garden. The juice from the fruit is not only delicious but also packed with healthy benefits. This drought-tolerant tree can thrive in dry areas, as well as regions with good rainfall. Avoid planting in overly wet areas for best results.

Your pomegranate tree will grow to a height of 10-15 feet, with fruit typically ripening in September. While the Wonderful variety is self-fruitful, planting another pomegranate nearby will enhance fruit production on both plants. For optimal growth and fruit production, ensure your tree is planted in a hot, sunny location with 150-200 chill hours.

Key Benefits:
