We were very excited to discover 2 of these impressive old tree/ bushes in Penn Valley.

In 1900’s California, this ornamental pomegranate was known as ‘California Sunset and also as ‘Madame Legrelle’ after a European horticulturist who popularized it. However, it most likely originated in either the area of what is currently Iran or India. This Fruitless variety is thought to be 1000’s of years old and is purely ornamental with no large edible fruits.
