Pomegranate Plant

The Pomegranate plant (Punica granatum) is a deciduous shrub or small tree that is known for its striking beauty and delicious fruit. Native to the Mediterranean region, it thrives in warm, sunny climates and is often grown for both ornamental and culinary purposes.

The plant typically grows between 3 to 10 feet tall, with glossy, narrow leaves and vibrant orange-red flowers that bloom in the summer.

These flowers eventually give way to the pomegranate fruit, which is round and has a tough outer skin. Inside, the fruit contains hundreds of jewel-like seeds, known for their sweet-tart flavor and numerous health benefits.

Pomegranates are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, making them a popular choice for juice and culinary dishes.
