Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Gen 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. Gen 1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. Rev 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations Punica granatum L. Punicaceae Common Names: Pomegranate, Granada (Spanish), Grenade (French). Related Species: Punica proto-punica. The Pomegranate (Punica granatum) is a fruit-beating deciduous shrub or a small tree that grows to 5 to 8 meters tall. Origin; The pomegranate is a native from Iran to the Himalayas in the northern India and it was cultivated and naturalized over the whole Mediterranean region since ancient times. It is widely cultivated throughout Iran, India and in other drier parts of southern Asia, Malaya, the East Indies and in tropical Africa. This tree was introduced to California by the early Spanish settlers in 1769. In the United States it is grown for its fruits mainly in the drier parts of California and in Arizona. The leaves of this tree are the opposite or sub-opposite, glossy, narrow oblong, entire, 3 to 7 cm long and 2 cm broad. The flowers are bright red, 3 cm in diameter, with 5 petals (often more on cultivated plants). The fruit is between an orange and a grapefruit in size, 7 to 12 cm in diameter with a rounded hexagonal shape, and has a thick reddish skin with many seeds, demonstrating parietal placentation. The edible parts of this tree are the seeds and the red seed pulp surrounding them. There are some cultivars which have been introduced that have a range of pulp colours like purple. The only other species is the Punica, Socotra Pomegranate ( Punica protopunica ), is endemic to the island of Socotra. It differs in having a pink (not red) flowers and smaller, less sweet fruit. Pomegranates are drought tolerant, and they can grow in dry areas with either a Mediterranean winter rainfall climate or in a summer rainfall climates. In wetter areas, they are prone to root decay from fungus diseases. They are tolerant to moderate frost, down to about -10 C. Adaptation: Pomegranates prefer a semi-arid mild- temperate to subtropical climate and are naturally adapted to regions with cool winters and hot summers. A humid climate adversely affects the formation of the trees fruits. The tree can be severely injured by temperatures reaching
