Pomegranates are native to Persia, the Eastern Mediterranean region and Northern Africa, were mentioned throughout Ancient Greek and Roman History and are now popular across the world.
Pomegranates are deciduous or semi-deciduous depending on the climate you are growing them in.
The shrub like trees produce gorgeous, large, round, deep garnet coloured jewel-like fruit that taste delicious!
They are very versatile and you can juice the fruit, sprinkle seeds in salads, use them in sweet or savoury dishes - or eat them fresh from the tree. Once established they are an attractive, bushy and hardy tree with beautiful red flowers.
You can grow them in your backyard or add them to your orchard - they also look fantastic grown in a large pot or as a productive hedge to separate different spaces.
