The Parfianka Pomegranate, scientifically known as Punica granatum 'Parfianka,' is a distinctive and highly prized pomegranate cultivar renowned for its exceptional taste and ornamental qualities. Originating from Turkmenistan, this deciduous shrub or small tree is prized for its striking red-orange flowers and vibrant, glossy, deep-red fruit. The Parfianka Pomegranate is particularly esteemed for its large, juicy arils that are sweet, flavorful, and known for their unique balance of sweetness and acidity. The fruit is typically medium to large in size with a thin, yet tough, skin.
