Eve Pomegranate

Punica granatum 'Eve' Another great variety developed by the University of California. Large size fruit, bright red exterior, deep red arils. The flavor is excellent, and can be described as cherry slurpy-like. Fruit ripens October-November. Chill requirements of 150 hours, self-fertile. Pomegranate can be grown as a small tree or in a bush form. Their bright foliage and beautiful orange flowers make them a beautiful landscape plant. Pomegranates ripen well in the South and in California. They grow well in the Pacific Northwest but don’t get the intense summer heat they need to ripen. Growing them as a multi-stemmed bush in a pot and bringing them inside to finish ripening in the fall can extend their productive range. Hardy to USDA Zone: 7 Grow Height: 10' Ripening Time: Late Fall Sun: Full Sun Pollination: Self-Fertile
