A.C. Sweet Pomegranate
A.C. Sweet Pomegranate, developed by Arthur C. Combe of Beaver Dam, Arizona, was selected for its exceptionally sweet and refreshing flavor and ability to hang for weeks without splitting. Skin is red to bright pink and arils are a bright pink to light red. A very gorgeous fruit inside and out! Plants are exceptionally hardy to below zero, making it an excellent choice throughout the Southwest and one of the most cold hardy pomegranates available.

Plants will be shipped semi-bare-root (with little soil) from December to April. As the plants are dormant (sleeping), it is perfectly safe to send them bare-root. Winter is the safest and the best time to ship plants.
Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plants are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in Fall and Winter and will lose most of their leaves. Looking dead and dry, is very normal. The plant will flush out in Spring.
We cannot ship certain plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by the California Department of Agriculture.

FAQ's
How does A.C. Sweet Pomegranate taste?
A.C. Sweet Pomegranates taste sweet with a slight tartness when not fully ripe. Their arils are reddish, and they have bright colors. A A.C. Sweet Pomegranate tree produces many beautiful orange flowers during the spring.
Are A.C. Sweet Pomegranates self-pollinating?
Pomegranate trees, including A.C. Sweet Pomegranate trees, are self-pollinating, but pollination from other pomegranate trees increases fruit size and produces more fruit.
How big do A.C. Sweet Pomegranate trees get?
A.C. Sweet Pomegranate trees grow to about 15 feet with an equal spread at maturity. They prefer full sun to produce the best fruit, although they can tolerate a light shade.
How long does it take for a A.C. Sweet Pomegranate to fruit?
A.C. Sweet Pomegranate takes 2 to 3 years to fruit. Initially, they require between 100-200 chill hours. A mature A.C. Sweet Pomegranate tree can produce 90-100 lbs. of fruit under optimal conditions.
Do you need two pomegranate trees to produce fruit?
The bees do all the pollination on self-fruitful pomegranate trees. The fruit production on both plants can increase when you plant another pomegranate tree nearby. It isn't necessary to cross-pollinate, but a little doesn't hurt.
How do I protect my A.C. Sweet Pomegranate tree in the winter?
Mulching is the best method to protect your pomegranate trees from winter. They can survive that way in the prolonged cold, but it would be great if you used a frost blanket. Pomegranate trees should not be placed near heating vents whose hot, dry air will damage their leaves.
As with other plants in a dormant or semi-dormant state, water pomegranate trees sparingly during winter, the soil should only be moistened every week to ten days, down to an inch (2.5 cm).
Where is the best place to plant a pomegranate tree?
Sunlight is vital to pomegranate trees. To maximize your tree's growth rate, place it in full sunlight. Your tree should be planted in an area with sandy loam soil and good drainage. A good drainage system is also essential for your pomegranate tree to thrive.
