About Pomegranate

Pomegranate is a hardy, drought-tolerant fruit shrub uniquely suited to container gardening on sunny terraces. It thrives in the dry heat of North Indian summers. For grow bags, grafted commercial varieties are mandatory, as seed-grown plants take years to fruit and produce sour, hard-seeded crops.
