Larkin Pomegranate – Local Heirloom!
An old homestead variety given to us by Dianne Weinstein that’s stood the test of time. The original pomegranate tree was planted in Gulf County near Wewahitchka, FL by her great-grandparents Carrie and Joe Glass. When the tree was in danger of being lost, Dianne’s Dad, Mr. Larkin Bowen (Pete), dug up a shoot and brought it to Marianna Florida. The tree flourished and produced beautiful, red-skinned pomegranate, with white seeds. Larkin pomegranates are very juicy, tangy sweet!! Fruits reliably in humid climates and is very cold hardy. Ripens late August through September. Grow in containers in northern climates.

We thoroughly prune and water them before packing, and make sure they’re well wrapped to retain moisture during transit. It’s as though you’ve personally collected them from our nursery!
Choose Your Ship Date: We understand you’ll want to be available when your plant arrives. Our checkout process features a handy calendar that allows you to choose the Monday on which you want your plant to ship. Depending on your location, you’ll likely receive your plant by Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday of that week. Once shipped, UPS will generate a tracking number and send it to the email you provided. You can then follow your plant’s journey and ensure someone is available to unpack it on arrival day.
