Pomegranates
Pomegranates make excellent screens in your landscape.
All Pomegranates are Edible Ornamentals: decorative trees that are perfectly complimentary to your edible landscape.

Medium to large size fruit with pale pink skin. Large seeds with dark red, sweet-tart juice. Good source of antioxidants. Long-lived, any soil. Inland or coastal climate. 150 hours. Self-fruitful.
Desertnyi
Desertnyi Is a special selection from the Turkmenistan collection of world famous Pomegranate hybridist Gregory Levin. Desertnyi translates to English as "dessert" and it is a real dessert treat. With a light orange-colored rind and dark red arils (the seeds and surrounding pulp), this contrasted look is like very few other varieties.

It has a great, firm texture with very soft edible seed.
