Cold-Hardy Red Pomegranate

Cold-Hardy Red is a commercially named pomegranate offered for its red flowers and fruit and its ability to grow in colder conditions than many pomegranates. The listing identifies it as a red-fruited pomegranate but does not establish a formal cultivar name, so it is described here at the species level. ## Garden Use The [Epic Gardening product profile](https://www.epicgardening.com/products/cold-hardy-red-pomegranate) lists an 8–10-foot mature height and spread, full sun, and fast growth. It describes summer red flowers followed by red fruit and recommends regular watering during the first growing season, then deeper, less frequent irrigation after establishment. Use it as an edible landscape shrub or train it as a small tree where there is room for its broad mature form. ## Maintenance Plant in full sun and well-drained soil. Water deeply through the first growing season, then adjust irrigation to rainfall and fruit development. Prune in late winter to remove dead or crossing branches and to maintain the desired shrub or tree shape.
