Wonderful Pomegranate Tree

The Wonderful Pomegranate ripens in September, needs only 200 chill hours (8 days of sub 45 degrees F), and is self-fertile. Pomegranates are often sliced into two pieces so that the pomegranate seed can be easily removed. The pomegranate matures into a bright red color globular shaped and can grow to the size of a grapefruit during the fall season. The fruit of the pomegranate tree was sculptured into friezes at the crown molding atop the ancient temple of Solomon in Jerusalem to celebrate the sacred image of an important food and beverage staple item that was consumed and worshiped by the people of Israel. Pomegranate juice has been extracted from the ripe fruit to produce a sensational liquid product that is rich in antioxidants, anti-cancer, treatment agents that are thought to immobilize "free radicals" that have been suggested to initiate primary cancer formation. The bright red color of Pomegranate pulpy seed is rarely seen in fruit. When the Wonderful Pomegranate turns red on the tree, it is ready to harvest and eat, and it ripens in the fall.
