Nana Pomegranate for Sale
Punica granatum 'Nana' is the classic dwarf pomegranate: bushy, compact and covered in bright flowers through summer, followed by small ornamental fruit. Perfect where a full-size pomegranate would be too large.
Plant in full sun in well-drained soil or a large container. Water regularly while establishing; once settled it is remarkably drought-tolerant. Self-fertile.
Appearance
Large, round fruit with red skin. The arils are clear red, large and juicy with a sweet-sour taste and moderate acidity — a good balance between sugar and acidity.
Harvest Time
Ripens from approximately late March into April, depending on local weather conditions.
Year to Bear
Grafted pomegranate trees typically begin bearing fruit within 2–3 years of planting.
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
Pomegranates are self-fertile. A single tree will produce fruit without a pollinating partner, though planting two or more trees improves yields.
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.
