Cold-Hardy Heirloom from Afghanistan with Deep Red Arils
The Afganski Pomegranate is a traditional heirloom variety from the mountains of Afghanistan, where pomegranates have been grown for thousands of years. Known for its bright red rind, jewel-toned arils, and bold, tangy-sweet flavor, Afganski is both beautiful and resilient. This cultivar is more cold-hardy than many pomegranates, tolerating temperatures down to around 10°F, making it a strong performer in both subtropical and temperate zones. With its long cultural history, reliable productivity, and ornamental beauty, Afganski is a rare gem for gardeners seeking a hardy, flavorful pomegranate with global roots.
