Russian Kazake Pomegranate

✓ Verified
Also known as: Kazake
Russia

Russian Kazake originates from Central Asia, in the region spanning modern Uzbekistan and neighboring former Soviet republics. It is documented as a genuinely bushy, cold-hardy variety well suited to colder climates than many other pomegranate varieties tolerate, and is noted for beginning to flower and fruit at a young age. The fruit has bright yellow skin with red arils, and while the flavor is naturally sweet-tart, the seeds themselves are notably firm rather than soft, a real, practical distinction from soft-seeded varieties like Parfianka and Angel Red, also documented in this database.
