Pomegranate Trees

The Pomegranate (Punica granatum) is an ancient fruit, native to Iran and widely grown throughout the Middle East and Mediterranean countries. Whilst they are mostly associated with warmer climates, some varieties of pomegranate are hardy down to -20℃, so they can be grown successfully in the UK. However, they require a long, hot summer for the fruits to ripen, so have a much greater chance of fruiting if grown in a greenhouse or poly tunnel. Pomegranates should be planted in a sunny, sheltered spot in well drained neutral/alkaline soil. Alternatively they can be grown in containers. Pomegranates are supplied in pots and unless otherwise stated in the product description are available for despatch throughout the year.

We recognise your desire to cultivate these jewel-like fruits, steeped in history and brimming with health benefits. Our pomegranate trees are chosen to bring a touch of the exotic to British gardens, balconies and patios.

Are you enchanted by the idea of growing pomegranates but doubtful about their viability in our climate? Our pomegranate trees are specifically chosen for their resilience to British weather, making your Mediterranean fruit-growing dreams a tangible reality.

We often hear from gardeners worried about fruit production in our cooler climate.

The ancient French variety ‘Provence’ is very hardy, down to -20 degrees.

We provide expert advice on maximising your chances of a good harvest, from site selection to pollination tips.
