| Botanical Name | Punica granatum 'Wonderful' |
| Description | 'Wonderful' is the most widely grown commercial pomegranate for a reason. It produces massive, glossy red fruit with deep crimson arils that offer the perfect sharp, tangy-sweet flavor profile. Beyond its delicious fruit, it is a stunning ornamental specimen for the Willis area, boasting vibrant orange-red flowers and golden autumn foliage. It is self-fertile, highly adaptable to the Houston metro’s heat, and exceptionally long-lived once established. |
| Exposure | Full Sun |
| Height x Width | 10-15 feet tall x 10-12 feet wide |

| Zones | 8 - 11 |
| Chill Hours | 150 - 200 hours |
| Harvest Time | September to October |
