Punica is a dwarf variety of pomegranate. The plant looks like a miniature tree with woody stems, glossy light green elongated leaves, and it produces plumpish teardrop shaped flower buds that are bright red. I have three plants arranged in a trough, and since taking residence in a north-facing balcony about four months ago they have been blossoming more or less continuously.
In this post, I discuss my experience in caring for my pomegranate trees and the conditions under which they thrive.
