Often associated with more tropical climates, the pomegranate actually has exceptional resistance to low temperatures - down to as low as -15 ºC and can be reliably grown in the UK. Enjoy the sweet-sharp fruit flesh or use the fragrant pomegranate 'kernels' to make a fragrant juice which is shown to have many health-giving properties. Cropping well outdoors in the UK, pomegranate makes a decorative, shrubby tree of 4-5ft tall (120-150cm) best planted in a border, where it will produce pretty red flowers in late spring. Fruits form at the base of the flowers and are fully ripe in October and November
