Pomegranate Pazz | Punica Granatum 'Pazz'

Pomegranate Pazz is a productive, deciduous fruit tree prized for its large, dark red fruit with sweet, juicy arils and soft seeds. The rich-flavoured arils are delicious eaten fresh or used for juicing, desserts and preserves. In the Western Cape, Pazz pomegranates are generally harvested from early March.

Strong-growing and upright, Pazz is an excellent choice for home orchards and productive gardens. It is self-pollinating, wind tolerant and water smart once established. Plant in full sun and well-drained soil for healthy growth and good fruit production.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Large, dark red fruit with sweet, juicy arils.
• Soft-seeded variety, making it particularly enjoyable to eat.
• Excellent for fresh eating, juicing and preserves.
• Self-pollinating, so a second tree is not required.
• Wind tolerant and water smart once established.

Plant & Care

Plant in full sun in well-drained soil. Water regularly while establishing and during flowering and fruit development, then reduce watering once established. Feed in spring with a suitable fruit-tree fertiliser and prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and encourage healthy growth.

Did You Know?

Pomegranates do not continue to ripen after picking, so allow the fruit to mature fully on the tree for the best flavour.
