The name \"Kara Bala\" translates to \"Black Baby\" — a nod to its extraordinarily dark, almost black-skinned fruit and intensely colored arils. The flavor is complex: sweet, tangy, and rich, with a depth that sets it apart from standard varieties. This hardy, drought-tolerant shrub is perfect for collectors and gardeners looking for a unique and productive addition to their edible landscape, food forest, or permaculture design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"763\" data-end=\"811\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Grow Pomegranate 'Kara Bala Miursal'?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"813\" data-end=\"1137\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"813\" data-end=\"880\"\u003eProduces extremely dark-skinned fruit with deep red-black arils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"881\" data-end=\"953\"\u003eSweet-tart, rich flavor highly prized by collectors and connoisseurs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"954\" data-end=\"1006\"\u003eCold-hardy and drought-tolerant once established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1007\" data-end=\"1067\"\u003eBeautiful ornamental value with showy red-orange flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1068\" data-end=\"1137\"\u003eExcellent for fresh eating, juicing, preserving, and culinary use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1144\" data-end=\"1163\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Tips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant Kara Bala Miursal in full sun for best fruit production. It thrives in well-drained, loamy to sandy soil and tolerates both alkaline and slightly acidic conditions. Water regularly while young; once established, it’s highly drought-tolerant. Prune in late winter to encourage airflow, remove crossing branches, and promote larger fruit. In colder zones (as low as USDA Zone 7), some winter protection may be helpful during extreme cold snaps. This variety can be grown in containers where winters are harsh. Propagate by hardwood cuttings for best genetic consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Sow Exotic","offers":[{"title":"Medium Coconut Coir Pot","offer_id":46008187748548,"sku":"B6-POM-KB-M","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/5971\/6548\/files\/KaraBalaPomegaranteFruitTreeForSale-SowExotic.com.png?v=1775053212","url":"https:\/\/shop.soil911.com\/products\/pomegranate-kara-bala-miursal-punica-granatum","provider":"Tampa Home \u0026 Garden Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
