Sweet Pomegranate

Large greenish pink pomegranate with light pink flesh; very sweet and juicy when ripe. Sweeter fruit than Wonderful, more widely adapted (better quality in cool summer climates). Bears heavily, even when young. Unsplit ripe fruit stores in cool, dry place for two months or more. Ornamental, orange-red flowers in spring. Small tree grows to twelve feet and is very suitable for espaliering and container growing. Ripens in early September, before Wonderful. Cold hardy to zone 8. 100 hours. Self-fruitful.
