Sweet Pomegranate

✓ Verified

United States

I was not able to find documented breeder or origin history for Sweet through available research beyond its name describing its comparatively mild, low-acid flavor relative to more commonly grown tart varieties like Wonderful, also documented in this database. If you have a fuller source for this variety's background, it can be corrected with real information.
