The fruit of ruby seeds
Native to Persia and grown in North Africa for millennia, the Pomegranate covers itself in scarlet blooms in spring before bearing its distinctive crowned fruit.
Resistant to drought and limestone, it copes with difficult soils and yields antioxidant-rich fruit in autumn, eaten fresh or juiced.
"The pomegranate gives two shows: its flowers of fire, then its seeds of ruby."
