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.

Parfianka is a useful selection for fresh eating because its ruby arils combine sweet flavor, mild acidity, and relatively small edible seeds. A single self-fruitful plant can set fruit, although additional compatible bloom and insect activity may improve pollination. Its upright own-root growth lends itself to a shrub or small-tree form; choose the structure early and prune accordingly. The low 100–200-hour chill estimate broadens warm-winter possibilities, while the listed USDA Zone 7–10 range should still be checked against local cold exposure. Maintain drainage and reasonably even moisture as fruit develops to reduce avoidable stress.
