Pomegranates – A fun, festive fruit
Pomegranate shrubs are one of the easiest fruits to grow, since they are usually not affected by many pests or diseases. The fruits are full of antioxidants and thought to have many health benefits.
If you live in the right climate area for growing pomegranates plan to add one (or two) to your suburban homestead garden plan. The delicious fruits can be used for juice, syrups, salad toppings and jams, or eat the seeds fresh, right out of the fruit.
