About this plant
The pomegranate has graced Moroccan gardens since antiquity, and it is easy to see why: few trees offer such a succession of seasons. Brilliant red flowers in June, heavy glossy fruit in October, then foliage that turns golden yellow before falling.
Modest in size, it suits small gardens, patios and very large planters. It withstands heat, drought and chalky soils, and fruits all the better when the summer is hot.
A generous tree, ornamental and nourishing at once, and safe for pets.

Care
Caring for your plant
Watering
A generous weekly watering from May to September for plump fruit; almost nothing the rest of the year.
Light
Full sun, as hot as possible. That is the condition for good fruiting.
Feeding
Compost at the base in February and organic feed in May. Too much nitrogen drops the flowers.
Temperature
Hardy to −12 °C; it drops its leaves in winter and regrows in spring. No heat limit anywhere in Morocco.
