About Wonderful
Wonderful is the dominant commercial pomegranate, with large deep-red fruit, dark arils, and a full sweet-tart flavor. It is vigorous, productive, and late maturing.
Growing Wonderful Pomegranate
Wonderful is self-fruitful, though insect pollination can improve set. Grow it in full sun and heat, harvest only when color is deep and fruit is firm, and avoid overripe fruit that begins to split.
