Plant details
Meet this plant.
The pomegranate that shrugs off cold winters and still loads its branches with big, ruby-red fruit every September.
'Salavatski' (also sold as 'Russian 26') is a hardy pomegranate that traces back to the Caucasus region, prized for surviving where most pomegranates sulk or die back. It forms a rounded 8–10 ft. shrub or small tree carrying glossy foliage, vivid orange-red spring blooms, and large fruit with a thin orange-red rind. Inside, the arils are deep red, soft-seeded, and balanced sweet-tart — excellent for fresh eating, juicing, and garnishing.
Why growers choose the Salavatski
- Genuine cold tolerance. One of the most cold-hardy pomegranates available, reliably grown in zones 6–9 where standard varieties struggle.
- Big, soft-seeded fruit. Large pomegranates with juicy, deep-red arils and softer seeds make eating and juicing easy.
- Self-fertile productivity. A single plant sets fruit on its own, so you don't need a partner tree to enjoy a harvest.
- Ornamental from spring to fall. Flame-orange flowers in spring, ripening fruit through summer, and golden foliage in autumn earn it a spot as a landscape specimen.
- Container-friendly habit. Its manageable size and tolerance of pruning make it a strong candidate for large pots on a patio.
Whether you give it a sunny corner of the yard as a fruiting screen, train it as a small specimen tree, or grow it in a big container you can shelter over winter, the Salavatski rewards a warm, bright spot with fruit you can grow and eat at home.

Questions about plant options, delivery, tracking, or an order? Inty is here to help before and after your purchase.
Will my plant look exactly like the photo?
Live plants naturally vary in height, branching, leaf count, color, and shape. Photos show the variety and typical presentation.
Can items arrive separately?
Yes. Plants can have different preparation times and packaging needs, so one order may receive more than one tracking number.
What should I do when it arrives?
Unpack promptly, inspect the plant, water only when needed, and let it acclimate before making major care changes.
