"Dwarf Pomegranate" Bright double orange flowers resembling nodding papery carnations followed by small edible fruit; very cool winter condition imperative for best production of spring blossoms--but do not allow to freeze. Handsome and dependable in any bonsai pot as soon forms a stout woody trunk and the foliage always remains dimunitive. Asian herb extensively utilized to treat mouth sores, diarrhea, and a multitude of other ills. Certainly one of the easiest small fruiting shrublets quite content with container culture. And now for trivia: the word 'Punica" derives from the Latin natum punicum, the "Apple of Carthage"--remember the Punic Wars?
