Pomegranates - Many Varieties
Pomegranates are an amazing fruit tree native to central Asia. They do best in mediteranian climates but can survive further north with careful management. We currently offer 9 varieties of pomegranate and are always on the lookout for more.
Pomegranates are self-fertile, meaning you only have to plant one to get fruit, but two plants can help increase pollination and fruit production.
You will receive an actual tree in a cloth pot. We grow our own plants and seeds at our family farm using organic practices only.

Pink Globe Pomegranate: This variety is exclusive to our nursery. We desired a pomegranate that would ripen later in the year to spread out the harvest and allow us to have fresh pomegranates for more of the year than the current varieties so developed this variety. It is a wonderful choice if you want a second tree that will ripen later than other common varieties or if you would like a large pink skinned sweet pomegranate. It is a tree of medium vigor that produces a large pink skinned fruit with sweet arils that are light red in color. The seeds are of medium hardness. We are still developing information on how it does in various climate zones but know it does very well in zone 9a and should preform well in zones 8-10, possibly zones 7-11 but we have not tested the colder areas yet.

It is one of our favorite eating pomegranates here on the farm. Harvest is in the middle of pomegranate harvest but due to it’s sweetness it is often good to eat a bit earlier than it achieves full ripeness. Fruit is somewhat more prone to pest and fungal attacks than Wonderful/Utah/Early wonderful but we feel it is worth the effort to grow due to the superior tasting fruit. It is a vigorous tree that grows well and does well in USDA zones 7-11
Eversweet: This variety produces a large fruit with a light pink skin and very light pink arils. It gets quite sweet and has very soft seeds so it tastes seedless when eating.
