Texas Pink Pomegranate Tree

Texas Pink is a fruiting pomegranate selected for rosy-pink fruit and bright red flowers. In a warm, sunny site it grows as a large shrub or small tree, and its self-pollinating flowers can set fruit without a second pomegranate nearby. ## Fruit and placement Mature plants are listed at about 8–15 feet tall and 6–10 feet wide. Plant in full sun and well-drained soil; steady moisture supports a better crop, though established plants tolerate some dry weather. The fruit ripens in fall, and the edible seeds are the juicy arils inside the leathery rind. The [Texas Pink product profile](https://www.trees.com/products/texas-pink-pomegranate-tree) gives the cultivar’s fruit, flower, size, pollination, and growing details. Texas A&M’s [pomegranate production guide](https://mytexas.ag.tamu.edu/publications/pomegranates-texas-fruit-and-nut-production/) describes the species’ warm-climate culture and the effects of cold on production. ## Maintenance Choose a warm, sheltered location and water regularly while the plant establishes. After establishment, adjust irrigation to rainfall and soil drainage; avoid keeping the root zone saturated. Prune selectively during dormancy to remove damaged or crossing branches and to maintain an accessible framework for harvest. Protect the plant from unusually severe freezes, which can reduce flowering and fruiting.
