Technical details:
Botanical name: Punica granatum
Quantity of seeds: 10
Plant type and cultivation cycle: Perennial shrub or small tree, long-lived and resistant, ideal for creating a home vegetable garden or a personal orchard.
Plant height: Generally between 2 and 5 metres, but can be managed effectively with targeted pruning to suit smaller spaces or container growing.
Uses:
Culinary: The fruits are excellent eaten fresh, made into juices, jams, added to salads, or used in a wide range of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes.
Ornamental: Its showy, bright orange-red flowers, glossy leaves, and elegant shape, combined with the beauty of its decorative fruits that persist on the plant for a long time, make it a visually striking plant.
Landscaping: Ideal as a single specimen, for creating mixed hedges, or for borders in appropriate climatic contexts.
Tasting Notes: The fruits, known as "balauste," have a leathery skin ranging from yellow to deep red. Inside, they contain numerous translucent and juicy arils, ruby red in color, with a balanced sweet and tart flavor, extremely refreshing and rich. The flowers are funnel-shaped, very showy, and a bright orange-red color.
Hardiness and Origin: It is a robust plant, highly drought-resistant once established, making it suitable for an organic garden with lower water requirements. It prefers warm, temperate climates and is native to the Middle East, extending as far as India. It tolerates short periods of cold, but requires protection in harsh winters.
Recommended sowing period: Spring (March-May), after the last frost, when soil temperatures are consistently mild.
Fruit harvest period: Late autumn (September-November), when the fruits reach full ripeness and their characteristic intense colour.
Optimal germination conditions: Requires a constant temperature between 20°C and 25°C and high humidity. Cold stratification for a few weeks can improve germination rates, although not always strictly necessary for common varieties, contributing to their high germination rates.
Soil Type: It prefers well-drained, medium-textured, slightly acidic or neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.0). It also adapts to poorer soils, as long as they are not excessively clayey and compacted, making it easy to grow.
Recommended exposure: Full sun for most of the day is essential for abundant flowering and optimal fruiting.
Germination time: Variable, usually 2 to 6 weeks, but can take up to a few months. Patience is essential to witness the emergence of this magnificent plant.
Pot or ground cultivation: Excellent for growing in the ground in mild climates. In colder regions, it is highly recommended to grow it in large pots or containers to provide shelter during the winter.
Seed Quality Specifications:
Non-GMO: Non-genetically modified seeds, for natural, sustainable and authentic cultivation.
High Germination Rate: Carefully selected to ensure a high germination success rate, making your growing experience easier and maximizing your chances of having vigorous plants.
