Description: Punica granatum ‘Braham’ is a productive and ornamental deciduous shrub or small tree valued for its vibrant flowers and delicious fruit. This variety produces striking orange to red blooms in late spring to summer, followed by medium to large pomegranates with a rich flavour and juicy arils. The glossy green foliage provides a lush backdrop during the growing season before turning warm yellow tones in autumn, adding seasonal interest. Well suited to Melbourne conditions, it thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil, tolerating a range of soil types once established. It is drought tolerant and low maintenance, requiring only occasional pruning to shape and encourage fruiting. Ideal for home orchards, feature planting, or as an informal hedge, ‘Braham’ offers both ornamental beauty and edible rewards.
