Pomegranate-Punica granatum 'Sirenevyi'

Sirenevyi Pomegranate is among the hardiest of pomegranate cultivars. This is a multi-stemmed, upright deciduous shrub that grows up to 10 feet high but is easy to keep smaller by pruning. It blooms with trumpet-shaped, orange-red flowers and produces orange-sized, globose, yellow to orange-red, speckled fruits with soft seeds with a very good, sweet, spicy flavour. Pomegranates require lots of sun and heat to bloom and fruit. They are self fertile and leaf out in late spring.
