Pomegranates can be used for both fruit and juice. The health food industry is interested in the juice for the high levels of anti-oxidants contained in each fruit. Each fruit can produce as much as 50% of its weight in juice.

We only send trees early in the week to try and  ensure they arrive at their destination before the weekend.
