We have long prized pomegranates for their garden value and no cultivar has drawn more questions than the Japanese cultivar 'Nochi Shibari', which means "large snotty orange tissue with a white topping"...just kidding. It actually means "bound or tied-up tail"...I'll leave it to your imagination as to why. This vigorous clone makes a 15' tall, deer-resistant shrub with small, narrow, glossy green leaves. Starting in June, Punica 'Nochi Shibari' is adorned with unique flowers...think orange carnation boutonnieres on both steroids and Ecstasy. The thick, waxy, orange calyx holds the double orange flowers, which are tipped in white. If you are into weird, don't let this offering pass you by.
