Pomegranate trees grow well here in Arizona and about this time of year, they are full of fruit almost ready for the picking. You can see just a touch of pink showing up on these two.
It won't be long before these three are ready to be picked and put to good use.
I see those ruby-red seeds used in salads and other dishes. Or they can be crushed and made into a syrup and used as flavoring for drinks and other things.
Do any of you use pomegranates?

I remember opening pomegranates and eating them straight from the tree as a child, I still think this is the best way.
It has been a long time, they are a bit of a pain to open. But that shouldn't stand in my way. George Washington grew them at Mt Vernon (he had a heated sun house - they also grew citrus.)
I have never seen them on a tree. When I was a kid we would buy them and tear them apart to get at the delicious seeds. haven't doe that in years, Sharon.
I love pomegranates but they're not something we could grow here (as far as I know).
I've had pomegranate dressing on a salad and it was very tasty.
