The pomegranate has been cultivated all over the Arabian Peninsula and Mediterranean coast since ancient times. SPA
More than 80,000 pomegranate trees grow on 180 farms in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. SPA
Tabuk supplies nearly three million kilograms of fruit to local vendors each year. SPA
Farmers plant pomegranate trees in spring or early fall. SPA
The trees produce several varieties of pomegranates, including Enderville, Red Angel, Acre and Manfaluti. SPA
The ripeness of pomegranates is not indicated by colour, but by taste. As the fruit matures, the sour flavour of the seeds gives way to an intense sweetness. SPA
The peak of pomegranate production is from 15 to 20 years. SPA
Tabuk is now a major agricultural producer, with 14,000 farms on more than 270,000 hectares. SPA
