Punica granatum 'Wonderful'

5 from 1 customers

Punica granatum 'Wonderful' is grown for its flowers and delicious fruit. Upright branches carry large and showy, orange-red blooms in summer, which result in large, red pomegranate fruit in autumn. The fruit is often used for making juice. The foliage on this deciduous shrub emerges bronze, ages to green, then develops yellow tones in autumn before falling. In warmer climates, however, it will generally remain evergreen as it grows to 2.5 m tall and the same width. Punica granatum 'Wonderful' is commonly included in mixed plantings, trimmed into a hedge, maintained in a container, or planted as a backdrop for smaller plants.

How to grow Punica granatum 'Wonderful' in NZ

Punica granatum 'Wonderful' grows best in warm, sunny regions of New Zealand with long, dry summers. Select a site with well-drained soil and full sun, and provide shelter from strong winds. This variety benefits from deep, infrequent watering during fruit development and a balanced fertiliser in spring. Prune in winter to remove deadwood and shape the plant for better airflow and fruiting. In cooler areas, plant against a north-facing wall to maximise warmth and encourage ripening.

Plant size, spacing, and growth rate

Punica granatum 'Wonderful' typically grows 3 to 4 metres tall and wide. It has a moderate growth rate and begins fruiting around three years after planting. For best results, space plants 2.5 to 3 metres apart to allow good air circulation and access to sunlight. Regular pruning helps maintain size and encourages productive branching. In warmer climates, growth and fruiting are more vigorous.
