Produces beautiful flowers that when pollinated develop into edible pomegranate fruits. Can be grown in a pot if desired. Can be trained/pruned to be shaped like a small shrub, a small tree, or even a bonsai. Can be kept as houseplant or outdoors.

The Dwarf Pomegranate is one of the best compact, ornamental shrubs for courtyards and small gardens. It produces breathtaking orange/red trumpet-shaped flowers, followed by small 5cm (2in) orange/red fruit.
Its compact size makes it suitable to containers. In areas with very cold winters it can be brought indoors.
Although native to the Mediterranean and Asia, they are cold hardy down to approx -10°C (12°F) and will bear miniature fruits if grown in areas with year-round temperatures that rarely fall below -4°C (40°F). Grown in full sun, they will bloom when they are about 25cm (12in) tall.
It is also tolerant of the maritime climate and drought conditions. It is not only small in stature, but even the flowers & fruits are dwarfed.
It is one of the most popular of all dwarf trees for bonsai hobbyists. It is perfect for beginners as it stays naturally small. It works well with many different styles for bonsai but the one most commonly used is the “informal upright”.
Surface sow the seeds at a depth of 12mm (½in) using well draining soil or compost mix. Do not cover the seed as they need light to germinate. Place in a warm position in bright light and only lightly moist.
Keep the pomegranate slightly damp at all times. Place in a position of good light, but where it is sheltered from frost and not exposed to drying winds.
It is not a requirement to prune for it to remain compactly leafed; but if it turns out to be a little bigger than wanted, it will not mind being trimmed in order to restrict size. They are very amenable to pruning and can even be sheered square and used for little hedges.
