Description

Pomegranate (Punica granatum) 'Wonderful' is a highly regarded variety celebrated for its strikingly large, deep red fruits and its ornamental charm, making it a favorite choice for both gardens and orchards. This cultivar produces round, substantial fruits that are encased in thick, reddish-pink skin, revealing jewel-like deep red arils within. These arils are not only visually appealing but also offer a delightful burst of flavor, characterized by a juicy, sweet-tart taste that is rich in antioxidants, making them perfect for fresh consumption or juicing.

As a deciduous shrub or small tree, the 'Wonderful' pomegranate showcases glossy, narrow lance-shaped leaves that add to its aesthetic appeal. From late spring through summer, it bursts into a profusion of bright orange-red, trumpet-shaped flowers, creating a vibrant display that attracts pollinators and enhances the garden's visual interest. For optimal fruit production and flowering, this plant thrives in full sun, basking in the warmth and light that encourages its growth. It is adaptable to various soil types, including sandy and loamy soils, as long as they are well-drained, which is crucial for the health of the plant.

Once established, the 'Wonderful' pomegranate exhibits moderate drought tolerance, although it benefits from regular watering during the fruiting season to ensure a bountiful harvest. It is hardy in UK zones 8-9, but in colder regions, it may require winter protection due to its sensitivity to hard frost. Many gardeners choose to cultivate this variety in large containers or conservatories to shield it from harsh winter conditions. Pruning is also an essential practice, as it promotes healthy growth and improves air circulation, thereby reducing the risk of disease. This versatile plant is ideal for edible landscaping, Mediterranean-style gardens, or as an ornamental accent, making it a valuable addition to any garden space.

How to Grow
Grow Pomegranate trees in rich fertile, well drained soil. For the best chances of fruiting choose a warm, sheltered position in full sun. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil to improve drainage and soil fertility. Plant Pomegranates at the same soil level as they were growing at the nursery.

For more information and guidance check out our Gardening Guides.

More Info
Keep weeds and grass clear from within a 30cm radius of base of the tree. In spring, apply a mulch of well rotted manure or garden compost to the base of the tree. This will help to retain moisture throughout the summer. Water Pomegranate trees well during particularly dry periods. Pomegranate is best grown as a multi-stemmed tree on a short stem. Prune Pomegranate plants from spring to summer. Select 3 or 4 low branches to form the main framework of the tree, and remove any misplaced, crowded and damaged branches. During the first 3 years shorten the main branches by a third of the previous season's growth to develop a well branched plant. Thereafter pruning should be kept to a minimum as over pruning can reduce fruiting. Pomegranates produce suckers and these should be removed from the base of the plant. Harvest Pomegranate fruits using secateurs when the crown at the base of the fruit has become curled and brown.
