The Wonderful Pomegranate Tree cultivar is just what it says it is—deliciously wonderful!
This pomegranate variety Punica granatum Wonderful features colorful, orange-red blooms during the flowering period. It has a dense, bushy growth habit that makes pomegranate an attractive ornamental tree in any landscape.
The pomegranate is more commonly grown as a bushy shrub but can be trained as a small tree. The leaves are deciduous, usually glossy green and dark colored. The red-orange flowers of the pomegranate shrub will appear in early spring.
The sweet fruit has tons of health benefits and is rich in antioxidants. It is also a good source of vitamins C and E. Different varieties of pomegranates may look a kaleidoscope of colors from yellow to bright red in color.

The many soft seeds are surrounded by pink to purplish or crimson pulp. The large red fruit pomegranate ripens in September.
It will take your pomegranate fruit tree 2-4 years to start producing fruit that is big enough to eat the pomegranate seeds and squeeze the juice. Your beautiful tree will come with baby pomegranates and they will grow bigger and bigger with each growing season until full size. Eaten fresh, the pomegranate juice tastes sweetly divine!
Pomegranate trees have been cultivated since ancient times throughout the Mediterranean region. There are some long-lived specimens rumored to be over 200 years old still bearing fruit in Europe. The leathery rind gives the fruit a good storage life.

The best time to plant your new fruit tree is in early spring. To plant the pomegranate tree, dig a hole the size of the root ball. Place the tree and backfill the hole to eliminate any air pockets. Choose a location in full sun and apply deep watering every few days to keep up soil moisture. Once established, the tree is drought tolerant.
Apply a layer of mulch to the tree to help retain moisture. A slow-release fertilizer will help boost the tree’s growth and good fruit production. These care tips are especially important when it is a young pomegranate tree. Prune pomegranate trees only to maintain the desired size and shape, or to remove diseased or dead branches.
