Gold

Post by brain »

Does anyone have any information or experience with a pomegranate cultivar named "Gold" ?
At first I thought it was just a renamed existing variety as people like to do that.
But then I found that it has been documented at tastings under the name "Gold"

I stumbled across this variety searching for something else(that is usually how things happen):

It peaks my interest, but I am really hoping that I can find more information about it other than from someone selling it.

This is what The Incredible Pomegranate has for Gold:

DPUN 092 Gold – Fruit size medium, vivid gold. Arils and juice pink, sweet. Seeds medium soft. Named by John Lovell. Description by Dr. John Lovell, Fruit Gardener, Vol. 20, No. 1, 1 Quarter, 1988: Medium, yellow red, sweet rich light pink juice, seems poor keeper.
