Detailed Description:
Pomegranate ‘Garnet Sash’ is a fruiting shrub or small tree grown for its brilliant summer display of orange-red flowers and glossy foliage. The blooms are followed by round, garnet-colored fruit with tangy, edible seeds prized for fresh eating and juicing. It thrives in full sun, heat, and well-drained soil, with good drought tolerance once established. In our area, this variety typically reaches 8 to 10 feet tall and forms a rounded, multi-stemmed habit. Attractive enough for ornamental use and productive enough for home orchards, ‘Garnet Sash’ brings beauty and harvest to the landscape.
