Punica granatum 'Parfianka'

Parfianka is considered by many the most tasty or flavourful cultivars. It belongs to the group of "Russian Pomgranates", which are known for being early-bearers and for their resistance to frost and heat. It ripens in early October large rounded fruits with bright red-orange skin of uniform colour. Inside there is little presence of white part and arils are large, with a sweet and acid flavour, an intense bright red colour. They contain small and very soft seeds. Storage time is 30-40 days. As written before, Parfianka is very hardy to frost and should survive to temperatures of -15 C.

Pomegranates in general are vigorous small trees, resistant to moderate frost and heavy droughts. They can be kept as large shrubs of 2-3 m and can even grow and fruit in large pots.
