Bay Area–Based Nursery

We specialize in plants grown and delivered in their original pots and soil.
Because of their size and weight, our plants are not suitable for long-distance shipping and are delivered locally to ensure health and quality.

While delivery is limited to our local service area, we’re happy to support garden design and plant selection remotely.

For local plant professionals, we’re always glad to connect and explore ways to support your customers.

True to its name, Eversweet is the perfect pomegranate for those who prefer pure, unadulterated sweetness. Its uniquely pale fruit contains arils that are sweet even before fully ripe, offering an extended harvest window. This low-acidity variety is a delightful, sun-loving addition to any Bay Area garden.

Unique “ever-sweet” characteristic: Arils are sweet and edible even when the fruit is under-ripe, unlike most tart varieties.
Produces large, pale pink to yellow fruit with a distinctive appearance in the garden.
Arils are a delicate, translucent pink, exceptionally sweet, very juicy, and contain soft seeds.
Juice is clear or pale pink, non-staining, and incredibly sweet—ideal for those who find other pomegranates too tart.
A self-fertile, heat-loving, and drought-tolerant shrub perfectly adapted to California‘s long, dry growing season.
Excellent for fresh eating out of hand, as the low acidity and soft seeds make for a hassle-free, sweet snack.

Flavor Profile:

Flavor: Exceptionally sweet with virtually no acidity or astringency.
Texture: Juicy with very tender, edible seeds.
Best Uses: Fresh eating for children and sweet-tooths, non-staining juices, fruit salads, and desserts.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

If you’re unsure which size or form fits your project, our team is happy to help you select the best option based on your space, timeline, and design goals.

Q: How do I know when Eversweet is ripe if it doesn‘t turn red?A: Ripe fruit will develop a warm pinkish-yellow hue, feel heavy for its size, and the skin will become firm. Since it‘s sweet early, you can taste-test an aril from a developing fruit without ruining it.
Q: Is the flavor less “pomegranate-like” due to low acidity?A: It has a different, more delicately sweet flavor profile compared to classic tart varieties. It lacks the bold “pucker” but offers a pure, sugary juice that is highly prized by many.
Q: Is it good for juicing?A: Excellent for a unique, sweet, clear juice. It will not produce the deep red, tart juice typical of store-bought varieties.
