Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Its name describes not only its delicious and pretty burnished-red fall fruit but also its very showy and large, ruffled 3-4" orange-red flowers! This vigorous cultivar was first discovered in Florida in the late 1800's and it is still the most commonly grown variety today. The large fruit have a superb, tangy flavor and are produced abundantly where summer heat is adequate. Grow as a handsome 8-20' fountain-shaped shrub/tree (which can easily be pruned to keep it smaller) or it can be trained as an exquisite espalier. S/M-D

Delicious, heavy-fruiting small to med-sized tree. Decidous. Easy-growing and sturdy. Ornamental and edible fruit in fall.

The fruit of this tree is commonly found in markets throughout the U.S. In your yard you'll love the red flowers on a small, 8-10' tree.

Possibly the best fruiting of the pomegranates. Deciduous addition to your garden with silky bright orange flowers and elephantine dusky red fruit through the brilliant red and yellow fall color. 6-10' or hedged in full sun. If the summer is long and hot enough, harvest the wonderful fruit after first frost to make into jam, Grenadine, or just eat fresh with friends. Hardy.
