Pomegranate Elche

Pomegranate Elche, often referred to by its full name Mollar de Elche, is an attractive small shrub native to Spain and prized for its delicious, nutrient-rich fruit. This commercial-grade variety produces large, orangey-red pomegranates packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.

The fruit features juicy pink flesh and soft, edible seeds, making it ideal for fresh eating or juicing. Renowned for its exceptional sweetness and low acidity, Elche offers a premium pomegranate experience in both flavour and texture.

A beautiful and productive addition to any garden, this compact shrub also adds ornamental appeal with its glossy foliage and showy flowers.

Pomegranates are deciduous large shrubs featuring glossy green leaves that turn a warm yellow in Autumn. In Spring and Summer, they produce striking scarlet to orange flowers that develop into delicious, large red fruit by Autumn.

These hardy plants prefer well-drained soil and a sunny position. They thrive in Mediterranean climates, showing good tolerance to frost and drought. However, regular watering during Summer is essential to ensure the best quality fruit.

Self-fertile and requiring no cross-pollinator, Pomegranates can be easily maintained by trimming to keep them at a manageable size.
