Notes
'Toyosho' pomegranate (Punica granatum 'Toyosho') is a multi-stemmed tree for borders, specimen planting, and hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms in spring, summer, and autumn. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It grows at a moderate pace and tolerates drought.
