Pomegranate

The refreshing subacid fruits are eaten out-of-hand or used in salads. The juice can be enjoyed fresh or used in sauces, jellies, ices, etc. Plants are hardy and can take brief periods of temperatures under 10°F with their northern outdoor limit to Zone 7. Hedge spacing should be around 7' or give each tree a space of about 10' in diameter (dwarf at 4' spacing). Self-fertile, 10' tall except in northern zones where they are bushy around 6'. They have very pretty red flowers.
