Punica granatum 'Eversweet' (Pomegranate)

A small deciduous tree or large shrub, ideal for containers and long lived (>200 years), but slow growing. Large showy orange-red flowers over a long period are borne from late spring through summer. The fruits are red with very sweet clear juice, virtually seedless. Immature fruit are also very sweet. Fruits can be harvested in late autumn/early winter, 5-7 months after flowering. Will not ripen after harvest.
