The Pomegranate tree is native to ancient Persia and was cultivated over the whole Mediterranean region since the beginning of written history. The tree was brought to California in 1769 by Spanish settlers and has become a wildly popular fruit today. Its popularity is primarily driven by the proven fact of its strong anti-oxidant properties. The rich, tart, unique flavor is also fueling the high demand and is a healthy ingredient to many of the new juice mixes found in stores. The pomegranate is a round shaped shrub or small tree that can grow to 20 or 30 feet, but most often it tops out at 12-15 feet in height. The trees are self-fruitful, long-lived, and very productive. They produce best in a hot sunny location and only require 150-200 chill hours. The soil can vary, but must be well-drained. The pomegranate trees will grow well in alkaline soils that would kill most plants. We also supply large varieties in small quantities for your rear garden, kitchen garden, home garden or large quantities for farmland development, fruit orchards, fruit farms, real estate layouts or commercial cultivation.
