Pomegranate is a beautiful fruiting shrub or small tree that thrives in full sun with well-drained soil and moderate watering. It is highly adaptable and relatively drought-tolerant once established, but consistent irrigation during fruit development improves yield and quality. Prune lightly in late winter to shape the plant and remove suckers, and enjoy its brilliant orange-red flowers and jewel-like fruits in season.
