The pomegranate is a small fruit-bearing tree or shrub that originates from modern-day Iran and northern India. However, it has been cultivated for its fruit for centuries and is therefore found spread across most of the world. The name "pomegranate" is believed to originate from Medieval Latin and refers to an apple (pōmum) with seeds (grānātum).

The growth is dense and bush-like with thorny branches and green, almost glossy leaves. The flowers are large and red, and the fruits are characteristically round, usually red, and filled with crunchy red seeds. The fruits are used especially in salads or juices, but can also easily be eaten raw with a spoon.

NOTE: It can be a little slow to sprout its first leaves in the spring. So even if the tree looks dead, you must absolutely not give up on it :)
