Pomegranate Tree
The Pomegranate originated in southern Asia but
is now common throughout the tropics and subtropics. It was well
known in the Mediterranean region in early historical times and
seems well adapted to the semiarid parts of the area.

Granada's name may have been derived from the Spanish granada,
meaning pomegranate, it is a locally abundant fruit that appears on
the city's coat of arms. |
