Native to Asia, the Pomegranate is an attractive shrub to small tree that thrives in the heat of the Texas summers, and prized for the gorgeous blooms. Pomegranate is tolerant of many soil types, and does well in acidic or alkaline soils, in addition it shows some tolerance to salt spray, for those landscapes long the coast line.
Long slender branches can reach up to 15 feet tall, but easily weep or bend beyond that. Green leaves are arranged in whorls around the branches, and are no more than three inches in length, with minimal color change in the fall.
Flowers for this double blooming cultivar are orange-red with very ruffled petals reaching up to two and a half inches in width. They begin in the late spring, and continue into late fall. The tradeoff for these gorgeous blooms is that the absence of fruits.
