Punica granatum nana

Common Name:
Dwarf Pomegranate

Description:
Punica granatum ‘Nana’ is a compact, deciduous shrub known for its ornamental appeal and small, edible pomegranates. This dwarf variety features glossy green leaves that turn golden-yellow in autumn, and in spring to summer, it produces vibrant orange-red trumpet-shaped flowers that attract bees and pollinators. The small, decorative fruit ripens in late summer to autumn, though it is more ornamental than edible. Nana is drought-tolerant once established and thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, making it an excellent choice for pots, low hedges, borders, or bonsai cultivation.
