Eversweet Pomegranate

Punica granatum ‘Eversweet’

Very sweet, virtually seedless fruit – even immature fruits are sweet! Pinkish-red skin, clear (non-staining) juice. Harvest late summer through fall at coastal or inland locations – this variety will reliably ripen with somewhat fewer heat units than other varieties. That said, fruits will be larger, sweeter and more abundant in hotter locations. Only 150 chill hours needed.

Pomegranate can be grown as a small tree or in a bush form. Their bright foliage and beautiful orange flowers make them an exceptional landscape plant. Pomegranates ripen well in the South and in California. They grow well in the Pacific Northwest but dont get the intense summer heat they need to ripen. Growing them as a multi-stemmed bush in a pot and bringing them inside in the fall to finish ripening can extend their productive range.
