This sub forum is for documenting known Punica granatum cultivars and provide detailed information pertaining to them. Topic names should be titled as the cultivar name only.
If the pomegranate is unknown, it should be titled, "ABCDE Unknown." The only time an unknown should be posted here is if it is a unique variety found growing in the wild. Heirlooms are not considered unknown varieties.
Mistagged plants from a local nursery or trade do not belong here. All topics should contain as much information as possible about their origin and unique characteristics seen in the notes section seen below. It is preferred that your own images are uploaded rather than taken from the web unless sourced from a credible research website. Every post should follow the basic framework below:
