Seasonal note: Pomegranates are deciduous and may arrive leafless while dormant. This does not by itself indicate that the plant is unhealthy.

Upon arrival: Inspect this live potted plant promptly. If it arrives damaged or in poor condition, contact Customer Service within three days of delivery.

Eversweet is especially distinctive for very sweet pale arils, soft seeds, and clear juice that is less likely to stain than deeply colored pomegranate juice. It is self-fruitful, so one plant can set fruit without a dedicated pollinizer, while compatible bloom and insects may still help. The naturally arching 8–10-foot shrub can be left multi-stemmed, trained as a small tree, or guided onto an espalier. Compare its approximate 150-hour chill requirement and USDA Zone 8–10 listing with the site. Regular establishment water and reasonably even moisture during fruit development support growth without justifying waterlogged soil.
