Product Description
A highly attractive feature tree with the added bonus of producing glossy, versatile fruits in autumn each year! With deep green foliage and bright orange flowers in summer, it will look great in your garden for years to come.
The leathery skinned, glossy fruits ripen in the sun each summer and have a wonderfully sharp flavour. The fruits can be used in cooking sweet or savoury and taste great when made into refreshing, fragrant pomegranate juice! They are super-healthy, and packed with antioxidants. Pomegranate bushes love hot summers and your bush will thrive in a sunny spot it is perfect for a patio pot. It is completely hardy and will easily tolerate our British winters.
Supplied as an established plant in a 2L pot, ready to pot on, growing to a height of 60cm.

Plant Information
Top Tips
Best grown in a container where it can be grown outside during the summer and moved indoors ahead of colder weather. Although hardy to -8ºC when established, plants are best protected from frost when young.
Care Guide
Planting Advice:
- For pomegranate trees grown in containers, you will need around a 45L (10 gallon) container.
- Set the root ball into the pot and fill in around the roots with the soil to the top of the container but not covering the trunk.
- Water the new tree in well and lightly tap the soil down to eliminate any air pockets and to settle it around the roots.
Aftercare Advice:
- Pomegranates are self-pollinating, so you only need one to set fruit and will bear fruit from their second year onwards if kept happy.
- They need full sun to reach their best so keep outside where possible and if inside place near a bright, sunny window.
- If growing your pomegranate outside, keep an eye on the weather report and if the temperature drops below 40 degrees F. (4 C.), move the plant indoors to a sunny position.
- Water the tree deeply about once a week, more often during peak summer months, especially container-grown plants.
- During the first two years of the tree’s growth, feed with a general-purpose fertiliser in November, February, and May, and thereafter in November and February.
- Prune out any crossing branches or shoots to three to five per branch after the tree’s first year.
- Prune out any dead or damaged limbs in the late winter.
- Prune out suckers to create a more tree-like appearance.

great plants with tiny fruits and flowers, leaves falling now as they are deciduous, the proof of how good they are will be in the Spring when they come out of dormancy.
