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.

The ‘Wonderful‘ is the classic, robust pomegranate that defines the flavor most people know and love. As the backbone of the commercial industry, it delivers reliably heavy crops of large, boldly flavored fruit. It‘s a tough, sun-worshipping variety that performs spectacularly in the heat of California‘s inland valleys.

The classic commercial variety known for its large, deep red fruit with a crown-like calyx.
Arils are a vibrant, blood-red color, producing a rich, tangy-sweet juice that is the standard for pomegranate flavor.
Juice is powerfully flavored, high in antioxidants, and perfect for juicing, cooking, and making grenadine.
A late-ripening, self-fertile, and incredibly drought-tolerant tree that thrives with intense heat and full sun, making it ideal for hot Bay Area microclimates.
Extremely productive and vigorous, often bearing fruit within the first 2-3 years after planting.
Seeds are firmer than newer “soft-seed” varieties, which some prefer for the added texture in juices.

Flavor Profile:

Flavor: Bold, tangy, and richly sweet—the quintessential pomegranate taste.
Texture: Juicy arils with a firmer, crunchy seed at the center.
Best Uses: Juicing, cooking, baking, cocktails (grenadine), and for those who love the classic tart-sweet pomegranate experience.

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: Is ‘Wonderful‘ the best variety for making juice?A: Yes, it is the industry standard. Its deep color, high yield of juice, and balanced tart-sweet flavor make it the top choice for home juicing and processing.
Q: How does it handle Bay Area fog or cooler summers?A: It needs long, hot summers to ripen its fruit fully and develop its signature sweetness. It performs best in hotter inland areas (e.g., South Bay, Tri-Valley) rather than cool, foggy coastal sites.
Q: When is it ready to harvest?A: This is a late-season variety, typically ready from October through November in Zone 9a. The fruit should feel heavy, the skin should be a deep red, and it should sound hollow when tapped.
