Appearance

Medium to large fruit with attractive dark red skin and dark red juicy arils. Semi-hard, smooth seeds. Sweet with slight tartness.

Harvest Time

From February (depending on local weather).

Year to Bear

Grafted trees can produce a first crop within 1–2 years of planting under good conditions.

Growth Rate

Vigorous, semi-compact upright grower — typically around 3m × 3m.

Container Friendly?

Pomegranates grow well in large containers. Use a well-drained potting mix and keep watered through the growing season.

Full sun with good air circulation for best flowering and fruiting.

Watering

Water consistently in spring and early summer. Reduce from late summer. Container plants need more frequent watering and must not dry out.

Chilling

No strict chilling requirement. Deciduous in colder areas; semi-evergreen in mild climates.

Pollination Info

Self-fertile. A single tree will produce fruit without a pollinating partner.

Planting & Care Guide

Plant in full sun in well-drained soil. Pomegranates dislike wet feet but are remarkably drought-tolerant once established.

Feed monthly with pelletised manure from September to February. Preventative spraying for false codling moth and fruit fly is recommended where these pests are active.

Water consistently through spring and early summer for better yields; reduce watering from late summer but avoid severe drought. Container plants must never dry out completely.
