1 Live Plant Sweet Pomegranate Punica granatum Fruit Tree for Home Orchards Containers Edible Gardens

Sweet Pomegranate is a fruiting pomegranate prized for its large, rosy-red fruits with soft seeds and sweet, juicy arils that are enjoyable fresh or in recipes. This deciduous shrub or small tree brings multi-season interest to home orchards, patio containers, and edible landscapes with glossy foliage, bright orange-red flowers, and ornamental fruit.

Sweet Pomegranate performs well in warm, sunny sites and can be grown in the ground or in large containers where space is limited. It is self-fruitful and produces dependable crops once established, with plants typically reaching fruiting size in a few years. Use it as a specimen, hedge, or container plant on patios and terraces; prune lightly to shape and remove suckers as needed. Harvest fruit when fully colored and slightly soft to the touch.
