| Botanical Name | Punica granatum 'Sweet' |
| Description | The 'Sweet' Pomegranate is highly prized in the Houston metro area for those who prefer a less acidic, sugary flavor profile. Unlike the tart 'Wonderful' variety, 'Sweet' produces fruit with pinkish-red arils that are remarkably sweet even before fully ripe. It doubles as a stunning ornamental, featuring orange-red tubular flowers that attract hummingbirds throughout the summer. This variety is self-fertile, highly resistant to pests, and thrives in the intense Texas sun and humidity found in Willis gardens. |
| Exposure | Full Sun |
| Height x Width | 10-12 feet tall x 10-12 feet wide |
| Water | Highly drought-tolerant once established. However, to prevent fruit splitting and ensure a heavy crop in Willis, provide regular, deep watering during the dry summer months. Well-drained soil is essential to prevent root rot during wet Houston springs. |
| Zones | 7 - 10 |
| Chill Hours | 100 - 200 hours |
| Harvest Time | September to October |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
