Abstract

A new and distinct variety of pomegranate tree which is somewhat remotely similar to the ‘Granada’ pomegranate tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,618), but from which it is distinguished by producing fruit which are mature for harvesting and shipment approximately September 11 and in which the fruit is of higher acid content when ripe, producing more juice and arils that are moderate red to deep red coloration and softer chewability than those of the fruit of other pomegranate varieties.
