POMEGRANATE 'Eversweet' --Punica granatum--
POMEGRANATE 'Eversweet' --Punica granatum--
This is a great hardy pom with medium sized fruit full of great pom flavor without much acidity. Very sweet, self fertile, and virtually seedless with clear, non-staining juice. Sweet even when immature. Prune in late winter before new growth appears, this also helps promote fruit production. Harvest in fall, needs about 150 chill hours in winter for fruiting (like most fruit trees including peaches). Full sun. Drought tolerant once established, but needs infrequent deep waterings for the first few years to build a deep root system.
