About Granada
Granada is an early-ripening pomegranate with dark red rind and arils, soft seeds, and a sweet-tart flavor. It allows harvest earlier than Wonderful in suitable climates.
Growing Granada Pomegranate
Granada is self-fruitful and needs abundant sun and heat for quality fruit. Pick when fruit is deeply colored and firm, because delaying harvest increases the risk of splitting.
