The Texas Pink Pomegranate is a small tree with glossy leaves and a rugged trunk. The flowers are bright red and develop into very large fruits with a deep-pink, leathery skin. These are packed with juicy flesh with a unique sweet and tangy flavor. They can be eaten fresh, scattered across salads and other dishes, or turned into healthy juice, packed with potent antioxidants. It is very ornamental, and an attractive specimen on a lawn or a terrace. It can be grown against a wall and even turned into a large bonsai tree.
Full sun is needed to grow the Texas Pink Pomegranate, which thrives in hot, dry places and is very drought resistant. This variety is cold-resistant, growing well in zone 7. It normally has no pests or diseases and is left alone by deer. It is very easy to grow and needs no special pruning or spraying to carry a big crop within a few years of planting.
