Red Silk Pomegranate

Punica granatam 'Red Silk'

A dwarf pomegranate which will grow up to 6', just right for a patio pot! This UC Davis introduction is a heavy bearer of large fruit with red juice and a delicious grenadine flavor. It has a pleasing balance of acid and sweetness.

Red Silk is easily maintained as a small potted bush and tolerates heavy pruning unusually well. Pomegranate can be grown as a small tree or in a bush form. Their bright foliage and beautiful orange flowers make them a stunning landscape plant. Pomegranates ripen well in the South and in California. They grow well in the Pacific Northwest but don’t get the intense summer heat they need to ripen. Growing them as a multi-stemmed bush in a pot and bringing them in in the fall can extend their productive range
