And … “pomegranate” in ancient and modern Hebrew is “rimmon”; the same as the modern Hebrew word for “hand grenade” …

Bart, did you know? The word “pomegranate” in Spanish is “granada”, like the city in southern Spain (a must-see travel destination IMO). Also curious: “hand grenade” in Spanish “granada de mano”. Aah, yes.

If you have a sunny part of your yard that has a good north wind block like a building or shed the pomes do well down here. Papayas and Hass avocados have the same m.o.

The papayas give you a reward the first year. The alligator pairs take 5-7 years from seed. Never did a pome from seed but got a sapling over at Bantings on the westbank.

Are there other uses for the pome seeds?

Thanks for the great post.

It’s probably a little early to start buying Persephone jewelry, but you should check out the pomegranate necklace at Blue Alligator Jewelry down at Canal Place. You can get your Xmas shopping for 2024 done early.
