Pomegranates (Punica granatum) have been popular fruit throughout human history and are experiencing a surge in popularity at present due to the health benefits associated with their juice. Widely grown for their edible fruits, they are equally valuable as ornamental plants. This deciduous (rarely evergreen) shrub or small tree typically grows from 12 to 20 feet tall and nearly the same in spread. Pomegranates sucker profusely from the base, and if not removed routinely, the plants quickly become dense with many stems. Stems tend to be slender and thorny with reddish-brown bark that becomes grey with age.
