Description
The tree produces an abundance of beautiful large orange-red flowers over an extended period of time during the spring. The fruit is abundant, almost seedless, clear and non-staining with red skin. Immature fruit is also sweet making this variety a great choice for cool or coastal climates. Both the flowers and the fruit are produced at a very young age. Eversweet prefers full sun for best fruit production but will tolerate some light shade. Very drought tolerant once established. It is adaptable to any type of well drained soil. The tree is self-fruitful but production is increased with a second tree planted nearby. Harvest late summer through fall.

Bare Root Plants: the plant is shipped with the roots taken out of the pot/ground, and the roots are then wrapped in moist paper, with or without soil. The roots wrapped in moist medium is then covered with some kind of plastic to hold the moisture. The paper with moisture will keep the plant alive, during the journey. The plants, once received, the roots should be given a soak for 30 minutes and planted immediately.
Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plants are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in Fall and Winter and will lose most of their leaves. Looking dead and dry, is very normal. The plant will flush out in Spring.
We cannot ship certain plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by the California Department of Agriculture.

FAQ's
How does Eversweet Pomegranate taste?
Eversweet Pomegranates taste sweet with a slight tartness when not fully ripe. Their arils are reddish, and they have bright colors. A Eversweet Pomegranate tree produces many beautiful orange flowers during the spring.
Are Eversweet Pomegranates self-pollinating?
Pomegranate trees, including Eversweet Pomegranate trees, are self-pollinating, but pollination from other pomegranate trees increases fruit size and produces more fruit.
How big do Eversweet Pomegranate trees get?
Eversweet Pomegranate trees grow to about 15 feet with an equal spread at maturity. They prefer full sun to produce the best fruit, although they can tolerate a light shade.
How long does it take for a Eversweet Pomegranate to fruit?
Eversweet Pomegranate takes 2 to 3 years to fruit. Initially, they require between 100-200 chill hours. A mature Eversweet Pomegranate tree can produce 90-100 lbs. of fruit under optimal conditions.
Do you need two pomegranate trees to produce fruit?
The bees do all the pollination on self-fruitful pomegranate trees. The fruit production on both plants can increase when you plant another pomegranate tree nearby. It isn't necessary to cross-pollinate, but a little doesn't hurt.
How do I protect my Eversweet Pomegranate tree in the winter?
Mulching is the best method to protect your pomegranate trees from winter. They can survive that way in the prolonged cold, but it would be great if you used a frost blanket. Pomegranate trees should not be placed near heating vents whose hot, dry air will damage their leaves.
As with other plants in a dormant or semi-dormant state, water pomegranate trees sparingly during winter, the soil should only be moistened every week to ten days, down to an inch (2.5 cm).
Where is the best place to plant a pomegranate tree?
Sunlight is vital to pomegranate trees. To maximize your tree's growth rate, place it in full sunlight. Your tree should be planted in an area with sandy loam soil and good drainage. A good drainage system is also essential for your pomegranate tree to thrive.
