Cultivar name: Austin
Synonyms: n/a
Origin: Syria. This pomegranate came from Austin (hence the name) by way of a Syrian immigrant who brought this pomegranate from Syria.
Plant ID:
USDA ID: DPUN 223
Fruit Size: Large
Hull color: Red
Aril size: Large
Aril color: Red
Seed hardness: Medium/Hard
Flavor profile: Sweet with a hint of tart.
Hardiness: TBD
Notes:
This variety is less common and originated relatively recently from breeding some select varieties from Syria.
The pomegranate fruits are very large. Excellent flavor. In addition to that, high juice content and very sweet. The seeds are soft, very little grit to spit out. In my opinion, Austin tastes even better than Angel Red and I would say tastes twice as good as the common Wonderful variety. The Austin pomegranates are sweet and very flavorful and juicy.
I would highly recommend this variety.
