Description

The ‘Wonderful‘ is the classic, robust pomegranate that defines the flavor most people know and love. As the backbone of the commercial industry, it delivers reliably heavy crops of large, boldly flavored fruit. It‘s a tough, sun-worshipping variety that performs spectacularly in the heat of California‘s inland valleys.

• The classic commercial variety known for its large, deep red fruit with a crown-like calyx.

• Arils are a vibrant, blood-red color, producing a rich, tangy-sweet juice that is the standard for pomegranate flavor.

• Juice is powerfully flavored, high in antioxidants, and perfect for juicing, cooking, and making grenadine.

• A late-ripening, self-fertile, and incredibly drought-tolerant tree that thrives with intense heat and full sun, making it ideal for hot Bay Area microclimates.

• Extremely productive and vigorous, often bearing fruit within the first 2-3 years after planting.

• Seeds are firmer than newer “soft-seed” varieties, which some prefer for the added texture in juices.

Flavor Profile:

• Flavor: Bold, tangy, and richly sweet—the quintessential pomegranate taste.

• Texture: Juicy arils with a firmer, crunchy seed at the center.

• Best Uses: Juicing, cooking, baking, cocktails (grenadine), and for those who love the classic tart-sweet pomegranate experience.
