A dense growing shrub, the Pomegranate produces showy, orange-red flowers that are followed by 2" diameter decorative fruit. Its apple-green leaves are about 1" long and 1/2" wide. (The fruit is not edible.)
Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball at ground level. 3. Prepare soil mix of equal parts soil and soil amendment. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build Basin and water.
