Wonderful posts Richard and Harvey. In my opinion pomegranates are very under-rated. About 30 years ago (showing my age) we had wonderful pomegranates in Iran, large dark-red fruit with soft pips. Of course now I have no idea of the variety, and it is years since I tasted mulberries - we had big spreading trees in Africa that the hornbills used to pillage early in the morning. It's a pity that the variety of fruits commercially available seem to be shrinking - so please keep publicising the different varieties.
