'Favorite' Pomegranate – a pomegranate variety grown primarily for its increased frost resistance and compact growth habit.
Literature and nursery catalogs indicate its origin in southern Russia, where more hardy types were selected for colder conditions.
In our gardens, it typically grows as a multi-stemmed shrub with finely thorny branches; with regular pruning, it maintains a height of about 1.2–2 m and a similar width.
The leaves are glossy green, turning yellow in the fall and falling off.
From June to August, bell-shaped to tubular flowers appear in shades of orange to orange-red.
The fruits are generally smaller than those of heat-loving commercial varieties, approximately 5–7 cm in diameter, with a refreshing sweet-and-sour taste.
The edible part consists of juicy arils, which are rich in vitamin C and various polyphenols, and are mainly used in fresh salads, yogurts, juices, or syrups.
The variety is self-pollinating, but fruit set is often increased when grown alongside another pomegranate variety.
