Common Name: Pomegranate
 
Habit: Native to Persia (now Iran), the Pomegranate is a deciduous tree or shrub growing up to 8m tall.  The leaves are glossy, narrow and oblong reaching up to 7cm long on spiney branches.
Flowers: Blooms appear in late spring and continue through until summer, they are bright red and 3cm across with up to 7 petals. The fruit is typically in season in the summer and autumn and is actually a berry a little bigger than a lemon with a leathery outer skin.
Care: Pomegranates need the soil to be slightly alkaline which can be achieved by adding a little lime to the soil before planting. Plant in full sun, pomegranates like long hot summers and set more fruit after a cold winter.  Soil needs to be well drained, this plant is drought tolerant but will always do better with a little regular watering and an application of mulch.
