Wonderful Pomegranate Tree

The Wonderful Pomegranate Tree is the most popular and widely planted pomegranate variety in the world—and for good reason. It produces exceptionally large fruit with beautiful blushed red skin and jewel-like, deep red arils that are bursting with rich, juicy flavor. The distinctive sweet-tart taste has made Wonderful the standard by which all other pomegranates are measured.

Perfect for fresh eating, juicing, salads, desserts, and homemade jellies, the fruit is prized not only for its incredible flavor but also for its abundance of antioxidants and other nutritional benefits. Harvest begins in September, when the tree is loaded with colorful fruit that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.

In spring and early summer, the Wonderful Pomegranate Tree is covered with striking orange-red blossoms that attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Its glossy green foliage, ornamental flowers, and colorful fruit make it an outstanding landscape tree or shrub, adding beauty throughout the growing season.

The Wonderful Pomegranate is self-fertile, so a single tree will produce fruit. However, planting a second pomegranate nearby can increase pollination and produce even larger harvests.

This hardy, long-lived tree thrives in full sun and is highly drought tolerant once established, making it an excellent choice for warm climates. It performs best in well-drained soil and should not be planted in areas that remain wet.

The pomegranate shrub or tree is listed approximately 33 times in the Bible. References to the pomegranate in the Bible range from applique on priestly clothing, a shade tree, nutrition and the spiritually pure and wise. The circular calyx at the end of the pomegranate fruit looks like a little crown and that Solomon used this as a model to fashion the crown that he wore.
