Appearance
A deciduous, upright growing then spreading shrub. In late spring and early summer, frilly, double white flowers with a hint of cream appear. Sometimes large, rounded, cream coloured fruit is produced — the arils are clear with a juicy, mild taste.
Harvest Time
Flowers from late spring through to autumn. Grown for ornamental display rather than fruit harvest.
Year to Bear
Ornamental flowers from the first growing season in suitable conditions.
Growth Rate
Moderate growing. Can reach 2–5m in height depending on variety and pruning. Very responsive to regular pruning and can be maintained as a compact ornamental shrub.
Container Friendly?
Pomegranates grow well in large containers and can be maintained at a compact size with annual pruning.
Watering
Very drought-tolerant once established. Water regularly when young. Deep infrequent watering during fruiting improves fruit quality.
Temperature
Frost-hardy once established. Deciduous — the tree drops its leaves in winter. Very drought-tolerant in summer. Suited to most South African climates.
Chilling
No specific chilling requirement. Pomegranates are adaptable and grow across a wide range of South African climatic conditions.
Pollination Info
Ornamental variety — grown for its spectacular double flower display rather than fruit production.
Planting & Care Guide
Plant in well-drained soil in full sun. Pomegranates are extremely drought-tolerant once established and thrive in hot, dry conditions — exactly the conditions that suit much of South Africa.
Water regularly when young and establishing. Once the tree is well-rooted (after the first season), watering can be reduced significantly. Deep, infrequent watering during the fruiting season produces the best quality fruit.
Feed lightly with a balanced fertiliser in spring. Pomegranates do not need heavy fertilisation and will produce reliably in lean soils once established.
Prune in late winter if needed to shape the tree or remove dead and crossing branches. Pomegranates can be maintained as a multi-stemmed shrub or trained to a single trunk.
