Re: Desertnyi harvest

Your Desertnyi poms look delicious @greenfig!

Our overnight low was 42˚F. and the forecast high is around 75˚ F. This weather pattern may last 3-4 days. I hope this short cold spell in Waddell will ripen our Desertnyi pomegranates soon.

Granada

Granada (hard seeded) pomegranates are ready to eat in Waddell, AZ now. They have great pomegranate flavor, are sweeter than Wonderful and would be my idea of the perfect pomegranate if they had soft seeds.

"Granada Originated in Lindsay, CA. Introduced in 1966. Bud mutation of ...
