Pomegranate
‘WONDERFUL’ A multi-stemmed small shrub growing to
about 3 x 3 metres. Produces double red flowers throughout spring
and summer.
The fruit is medium in size, round with a red leathery appearance.
The flesh is red with a jelly-like coating that covers many seeds
and has a rich flavour that is used for fresh fruit or juice. The
fruit is produced on branch terminals and as the fruit matures the
increasing size weighs the branch down in a pendulous fashion.
Hot dry summers are required for good fruiting, although it sets
most fruit after a cold winter. They prefer well-drained ordinary
soil, mulch well yearly.
