Punica Granatum Maxima Rubra

Product Description

A highly attractive feature tree, Pomegranates are well-known, although not as widely grown in our gardens as they should be. With deep green foliage & bright orange flowers in summer, your pomegranate will look great for years to come, with its shiny fruits ripening in the sun & providing a beautiful contrast to its leaves. A tough, deciduous shrub, Pomegranate Maxima Rubra is completely hardy when established, & will easily tolerate our British winters, down to -8&186;C. For best results, grow in a warm & sunny aspect in a pot where it can be moved around as necessary before planting out when its trunk has thicker wood. Pomegranates are super-healthy & packed with antioxidants
- the fruits can be used in cooking sweet or savoury dishes & taste great when made into refreshing, fragrant pomegranate juice! Plants like a rich soil with plenty of grit & gravel for good drainage. Although drought-tolerant when established, do keep your plant well-watered & it will flower throughout the summer. Pomegranate bushes love hot summers & your bush will thrive in a sunny spot in the shelter of a building or ideally up against a stone or brick wall that will radiate heat back to the plant, helping to ripen the fruit & protect it from any extreme winter weather. Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready for planting straight out. Will reach 2-3m tall in 10 years.
