Nana is a dwarf ornamental pomegranate long grown as a compact shrub, container plant, and bonsai subject. Reaching only two to four feet, it is one of the smallest pomegranates and is prized primarily for its ornamental value: it blooms profusely with bright orange-red flowers over a long season and sets miniature red fruit. It is more cold tolerant than standard pomegranates and can be grown in containers and brought indoors in cold climates. While the small fruits are edible, they are quite tart and seedy and are usually valued for decoration rather than eating. Nana is popular for patios, low hedges, and ornamental landscaping.
