Phil@Tyalgum says... I had a "Wonderful" tree at Woodend which did well, one of the easier to get hold of varieties. Poyntons of Essendon often have them in as bare-rooted stock over winter. Another good choice is "Elche", a Spanish selection grown up in the Robinvale/Mildura area.

Phil@Tyalgum says... There is an interesting pale (fruit) colored pomegranate hanging over the fence at the general store in the town where I live. Fruit is very sweet and tasty, much nicer than any shop bought ones I've tried. Have also seen a variety simply called "Indian" at some of the plant stalls up here. | About the Author TyalgumPhil Murwillumbah 8th May 2010 10:16am #UserID: 960 Posts: 1377 View All TyalgumPhil's Edible Fruit Trees |

allybanana says... This is an interesting question and one I asked myself a while ago when I was trying to find a pomegranate for Eden, a coastal town with cooler summers. I ended up getting 8 varieties to test for myself. Phil put me onto a place called Parrs Nursury the trees were 11 dollars each. Graham Parr was of the opinion that if your summers are cooler or shorter you want a variety that breaks dormancy early to allow the fruit the maximum amount of time on the tree to ripen before the days cool. This includes the varieties Shepards Red (Big seeds sour) and Jativia (early Spanish variety) and I have also noticed,” Elcite” Daley’s soft seeded yellow variety breaks early (not a pretty red one, but I have high hopes for this variety). I also planted a number of varieties in Canberra and the early varieties got scorched by late frost. So I guess a lot depends on were in Victoria you are if you are costal then go for a different variety than inland. Wonderful is regarded as needing hot summers and as Kert says it is a bit seedy. Galosh. Ros. I’m not sure about, but guess that being Russian may be better than a Californian variety like wonderful at tolerating cooler summers, time and experiments will tell. | About the Author allybanana Eden 10th August 2011 5:56am #UserID: 4544 Posts: 372 View All allybanana's Edible Fruit Trees |

allybanana says... Shepard red from Parrs Nusury (not sure if it is the same as Sheapards Heratige) actually tastes pretty good the seeds are no worse than wonderfull and it is not that sour or bitter either. I have a number of layered branches that have taken root if you want one during winter. This variety does not always go fully dormant and sprouts buds early, it can get scorched by frosts in colder areas. allydalton dot sculplture at Gmail dot com | About the Author allybanana EDEN, NSW 7th March 2015 8:49am #UserID: 4544 Posts: 372 View All allybanana's Edible Fruit Trees |
