Grenada Pomegranate Tree

Grenada Pomegranates ripen in August, are self-fertile, and need only 200 chill hours (8 days of sub 45 degrees F) to produce pomegranate fruit.The shelf life of the Grenada pomegranates is better than many other cultivars making it a huge success for commercial pomegranate orchards. Many improved cultivars of the pomegranate have appeared in the U.S. during the past century, some by chance (mutation) and some by cross pollination, and the Grenada pomegranate appeared spontaneously from the branch of a Wonderful pomegranate. Many pomegranates were grown in the ancient civilizations, some for food and others for juice.
