Origin: US

Description:The Wonderful pomegranate tree is the most popular variety grown commercially in the United States. It is known for its large, juicy fruit with a deep red color and sweet-tart flavor. The tree is relatively easy to care for and can tolerate a variety of growing conditions.

Fruit: The Wonderful pomegranate is known for its large size and bright red arils (seed pods) with a sweet-tart flavor. The arils are juicy and packed with antioxidants and other nutrients.

Harvest: Wonderful pomegranates typically mature in October or November. The fruit is ready to harvest when it has developed a deep red color and a metallic sound when tapped. The yield can vary depending on the age and health of the tree, but mature trees can produce a significant amount of fruit.

Pollination: Pomegranates are self-pollinating, meaning they do not require another variety for fruit production. However, cross-pollination can sometimes increase fruit set. If you wish to plant another variety for pollination, consider compatible options like Angel Red or Eversweet.

Spacing: Wonderful pomegranate trees can grow quite large, reaching heights of 12-16 feet with a similar spread. Space them 12-18 feet apart to allow for adequate air circulation and sunlight penetration.

The fruit is also visually appealing, making it a popular choice for fresh consumption and juice production. Additionally, the Wonderful pomegranate is relatively resistant to pests and diseases.
