out of stock Pomegranate (Punica granatum) MOLLAR DE ELCHE

The variety is known for its exceptional sweetness, soft edible seeds and exterior colors of the fruit, oscillating between creamy yellow and deep pink depending on location. The most commonly grown variety in Spain, originating from Elche (Alicante).

Vigour: strong, forms a naturally branched, deciduous shrub up to 3 m high. It is easy to grow and easy to shape. Lives to old age, even several centuries. Can be grown in a large pot as a container plant throughout its life.
Site requirements: pomegranates are ideal for a sheltered and sunny spot in the garden or on the terrace
Blossom: self-fertile, pollinator is not necessary for producing a crop. However will produce a heavy crop if planted in close proximity to a pollination partner which can be another variety of pomegranate. Flowers small, simple, bright orange in June, July, then more randomly in August and early September.
Fruit: large, 300 - 480 g, creamy yellow to dark pink skin, sweet soft seeds
Harvest season: the fruits ripen gradually from late September to October
Disease resistance: pomegranate shrubs are one of the easier fruits to work with since they are not usually affected by pests or diseases. Suitable for organic or no-spray culture.
Frost resistance: to -15°C, as the plants gets older becomes more frost tolerant
Usage: juicy pomegranate seeds are consumed fresh, used to press the juice as well as to make the wine called Grenada. Pomegranate concentrate is used as an ingredient in salad dressings. Boiling pomegranate juice with sugar creates grenadine syrup, which is used as an ingredient in cocktails. In terms of taste, the pomegranate combines sweetness and acidity in an exotic way. That's why pomegranate seeds are ideal for refining desserts, meat and vegetarian dishes.

Pomegranates are not grafted onto any rootstock, so in areas where it gets cold enough to freeze, the tops of the plants may die back, they still come back and produce the same fruit. Ideal for a hot, sunny spot outdoors.
