The Pomegranate is a fruit-bearing deciduous shrub or small tree in the family Lythraceae that grows up to 8 m tall. The Wonderful pomegranate is sensitive to cold, and in the South, may freeze to the ground but will come back vigorously from the roots. It produces red, round and looks kind of like a red apple with a flower-shaped stem fruit that is about 5-12 cm in diameter. The skin of the pomegranate is thick and inedible. There are hundreds of edible seeds called arils that have an impressive nutrient profile that consists of Fiber,Protein., Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Folate, and Potassium, but one year plant growth rarely produces pomegranate fruit. It is said that pomegranate trees can live for over 200 years. Easily sliced for fresh eating.
