Punica granatum 'Afganski' (Pomegranate)

The Afganski Pomegranate is a robust Russian variety known for reliably producing abundant, large fruits with dark red skin and a flavor that ranges from sweet to mildly tart. Its vivid scarlet blossoms stand out against lush green foliage, giving it a subtropical appearance. This multi-stemmed deciduous shrub typically reaches 8 to 15 feet in height but can be easily maintained at a smaller size through pruning. Thriving in full sun and warm conditions, it blooms and fruits well, is self-fertile, and emerges with leaves in late spring. Suitable for growing in zone 6b.
