Punica granatum 'Eve'
Light: Full sun for best flowering and fruit production; light afternoon shade can reduce fruit sunburn in Phoenix.
Water: Deep, regular irrigation during establishment and fruit development; allow the upper few inches of soil to dry between waterings. Established plants tolerate drought, but prolonged dryness reduces fruit quality. Reduce watering in winter.
Soil: Well-drained sandy loam preferred; tolerates alkaline soil and heavier soil with adequate drainage. Avoid persistently wet roots.
Mature size: Approximately 10–15 feet tall and 8–12 feet wide; ultimate size varies with growing conditions and pruning.
Bloom: Primarily spring through early summer, with occasional later flowers.
Evergreen / deciduous: Deciduous; normally loses its leaves during winter.
Growth rate: Moderate; faster with adequate irrigation and favorable growing conditions.
