Punica granatum 'Wonderful'

Wonderful is a self-fertile variety selected in the USA, and today it is one of the most cultivated in the the world. Fruits ripen at the end of October with an intense and uniform red colour, often glossy. They are large in size, with a rounded shape and elongated crown. Taste is sweet and acid and seeds are rather soft. The rind is of medium thickness. Their storage time is 30-40 days

Wonderful has a shrubby or bushy habit, it is very productive and constant over the years. It does not require particular characteristics of the soil, adapting even to the poorest ones. It prefers mild climates, tending to warm.

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.
