Pomegranate ‘Ben Hur’ (Punica granatum)
The Ben Hur Pomegranate is a premium fruiting variety prized for its large, vibrant red fruit and sweet, juicy arils. Producing an abundance of fruit in late summer and autumn, this hardy deciduous tree is both ornamental and highly productive, making it a fantastic addition to any home garden.
In spring and summer, the tree is adorned with striking orange-red flowers that attract pollinators and add a splash of colour to the landscape. These blooms develop into large pomegranates packed with delicious ruby-red seeds that are perfect for fresh eating, juices, salads, desserts, and cooking.
Well suited to Australian conditions, the Ben Hur Pomegranate is drought tolerant once established and thrives in full sun, making it an excellent choice for backyards, orchards, and larger garden spaces.
