Pomegranate trees have been cultivated for thousands of years and are known for their striking red flowers and unusual fruit filled with hundreds of juicy, jewel-like arils. Depending on the variety, pomegranates can range from pleasantly sweet to intensely sweet-tart, with differences in fruit size, color, and seed texture. These attractive, drought-tolerant trees enjoy warm climates, and selected varieties can grow and produce fruit successfully in Florida.
