Pomegranate Trees

The pomegranate tree remains today as one of the oldest fruits known and cultivated by ancient civilizations. The fruit of the pomegranate was not only eaten by the primitive inhabitants, but was revered and even worshiped as an icon and used in decorating priests robes in Jewish rituals. In modern societies the juice of pomegranate is very important in making mixed drinks and offering health benefits because of high concentrations of antioxidants which are believed to prevent or cure cancer. The seed of pomegranates are still used as food in some European cultures, and as a native plant, the Pomegranate Tree can be seen by tourists as the predominant roadside tree along roads that pass through Albania, Macedonia and also in Turkey to some extent.


The flavor of the pomegranate fruit ranges from sour to sweet, and the color of the skin varies from green to white and red to purple. Some Pomegranate Trees are armed with thorns but most modern hybrids are thornless. The Pomegranate fruit ripens in early fall, and during the fall the leaves turn bright yellow and do not regrow until the spring. Overall, the Pomegranate tree is easy to grow in climates of zone 7 to 10 and offers the gardener an exotic, dependable crop of fruit for the backyard gardener.




The fruit from the Wonderful pomegranate is delicious to eat fresh and also to make into a juice that is called grenadine that is a popular health drink filled with antioxidants.
