The ‘Agat’ pomegranate is a dwarf variety valued for its toughness and its ability to produce pomegranates even in cooler climates. Of European origin, this pomegranate tree is particularly suited to regions where temperatures can drop to -14 °C, while still giving a regular crop of good quality.
The fruit of the ‘Agat’ pomegranate is medium-sized, with smooth, bright red skin. The juicy, slightly sharp flesh is made up of soft-seeded arils, which makes it ideal for eating straight away or for making juices and syrups. The fruit is also valued for its long keeping quality, which means it can be enjoyed throughout the autumn and even into winter.
The ‘Agat’ pomegranate is a hardy shrub, able to adapt to a wide range of soils, although it prefers those that are well drained and slightly chalky. It needs a sunny position, sheltered from cold winds, to encourage abundant flowering in May. The plant is relatively easy to look after and little troubled by disease, which makes it an excellent choice for amateur gardeners and professionals alike.
The ‘Agat’ pomegranate can be planted in open ground or in a pot, which makes it particularly well suited to small gardens and terraces. Plant it in spring or autumn, in well-drained soil. Regular watering is essential during the first year, especially in dry spells. Pruning should be light: remove dead branches and build a balanced framework.
‘Agat’ pomegranates are perfect eaten fresh, thanks to their balance between sweetness and sharpness. They also lend themselves to a wide range of preparations: juices, syrups, salads, or as an addition to sweet-and-savoury dishes. Their soft seeds make them all the more practical in the kitchen.
Once picked, ‘Agat’ pomegranates will keep for several months in a cool, dry place. They continue to develop their flavour over time, while keeping their juiciness and their crisp texture.
The ‘Agat’ pomegranate is self-fertile, but having other pomegranate varieties nearby can improve pollination and fruit set. This makes it particularly versatile and easy to grow, even for beginners.
