The foliage is glossy and narrow, emerging with a bronze tint in spring before maturing to mid-green, then turning yellow in autumn, giving seasonal interest at both ends of the growing season.\n\nBright orange-red flowers appear from early to mid summer, trumpet-shaped with crinkled petals, standing out well against the foliage. In a sunny, sheltered position these are followed by the familiar rounded fruits, which ripen to a deep red-orange through autumn, adding further colour and ornamental value.\n\nThe flowers attract pollinating insects, providing a nectar source through the summer months, while the fruits can offer additional interest for wildlife if left on the tree.\n\nThis tree performs best in a warm, sheltered, sunny spot and is well suited to being grown against a south-facing wall or in a border that benefits from reflected heat. It tolerates a range of well-drained soils, including chalky, sandy or loamy types, but should be protected from cold winds and hard frosts, making it a good choice for warmer gardens or coastal areas with mild winters.","brand":"Arundel Arboretum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57555414221178,"sku":"PUNI-GRAN-HS29-290","price":1595.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9130\/4688\/files\/punica_granatum_-_tree_half_standard_260-300cm_0X6P02.jpg?v=1794482874","url":"https:\/\/www.arundelarboretum.co.uk\/products\/pomegranate-punica-granatum-clear-stem-half-standard-height-260-300cm-width-180-220cm-285lt","provider":"Arundel Arboretum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
