The Pomegranate is a Rare multi-harvest crop introduced during the Trader Event in Grow a Garden. Because of its broad type classification—covering berries, flowers, tropical crops, and more—it is one of the most versatile crops for players looking to optimize type-based boosts, seasonal bonuses, or synergy setups. Although the Pomegranate is not the rarest plant in the game, its flexible utility and respectable value make it a highly sought-after addition to any garden.
In Grow a Garden, the Pomegranate stands out as one of the most versatile Rare crops, offering benefits across multiple type categories such as Berry, Flower, Fruit, and Tropical. Its cube-shaped red fruit and tall green seed make it visually unique, while its fast regrowth time and multi-harvest capability make it highly efficient for players focused on high-yield farming. Obtained primarily through the Trader Event streak system, the Pomegranate pairs especially well with various boosters—much like how grow a garden pets enhance gameplay by providing extra bonuses and support. Together, these features make the Pomegranate a valuable addition to any well-optimized garden setup.
Crop Classification
The Pomegranate is categorized under several crop types at once:
Berry, Flower, Fall, Leafy, Sweet, Summer, Sour, Fruit, Tropical
This wide range of classifications allows it to benefit from nearly every major buff category in the game. For example:
- Berry Boosters increase its selling value.
- Flower Fertilizers reduce its growth time.
- Summer Enhancers improve weight and huge-chance bonuses.
- Fruit-based items can enhance seed drop rates during harvest.
Because stacking multiple type synergies is a powerful late-game strategy, the Pomegranate often becomes a core crop for players who want to create high-efficiency hybrid builds.
Appearance
The Pomegranate’s design is visually distinctive despite its simplicity:
- The crop grows into a red cube-shaped fruit, similar in size to most standard fruits in the game.
- A small brown stem sits at the top, giving the cube an organic, natural touch.
- The sides of the fruit feature diagonal groove patterns, which help differentiate it from similarly shaped crops like the Cube Apple.
- Its seed is a tall green rectangular block with a flat brown top, a design shared with the Aloe Vera and Radish seeds. The only visual difference between these seed models is the specific shade of brown used for the top surface.
This shared seed model is a remnant of early development, as the Pomegranate was initially planned for a different update before being repurposed for the Trader Event.
How to Obtain the Pomegranate
The Pomegranate is exclusively obtained from the Trader Event reward streak system. Each time you successfully complete a streak cycle, you have a chance of receiving the Pomegranate seed. Higher streak levels grant better odds of obtaining it:
| Streak Level | Chance to Obtain |
|---|---|
| Streak 1 | 12.87% |
| Streak 2 | 14.29% |
| Streak 3 | 16.05% |
| Streak 4 | 19.40% |
Because of its multi-harvest nature and strong value scaling, many players consider it worthwhile to push streaks during the Trader Event whenever aiming to expand their Pomegranate collection.

General Information
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Tier | Rare |
| Seed Chance | 17.81% |
| Currently Obtainable? | Yes |
| Multi-Harvest? | Yes |
| Date Added | November 22nd, 2025 |
The multi-harvest property makes the Pomegranate particularly efficient, as it can continue producing fruits from the same seed without the need for replanting.
Value & Economy Data
Pomegranates are moderately valuable compared to other Rare-tier crops. While not the most profitable fruit in the game, their consistency and growth speed make them reliable income generators.
Value Information
| Value Type | Amount |
|---|---|
| Price-Floor Value | Sheckle 30083 |
| Average Value | Sheckle 33333 |
These values scale further when boosted by Berry, Flower, Sweet, or Tropical value modifiers, making the crop highly adaptable to different economic builds.
Growth & Weight Data
The Pomegranate’s growth times are fairly average for the Rare tier, though many players find it efficient enough to plant in bulk.
Weight Information
| Weight Type | Amount |
|---|---|
| Price-Floor Weight | 1.90 kg |
| Average Weight | 2.00 kg |
| Minimum Weight | 1.40 kg |
| Huge Chance | 1.00% |
Although the huge-chance percentage is standard for most Rare crops, stacking weight-enhancing items from its multiple type classifications can significantly improve overall yield quality.
Growth Times
| Stage | Time |
|---|---|
| Plant Growth Time | 21m 26s |
| Fruit Growth Time | 13m 24s |
This means that after the initial planting, subsequent fruits take only around 13 minutes to regrow, making it a satisfying crop for active players who enjoy cycling harvests frequently.
Trivia
- The Pomegranate seed reuses the exact same model as Aloe Vera and Radish seeds, with the only change being the tone of the top surface.
- It was originally classified as a Mythical-tier plant, but its tier was lowered before release for better balance.
- The crop was intended for the Fairy World 2 update, but the update’s cancellation resulted in the crop being repurposed for the Trader Event.
- Its unusually large list of type classifications was designed to make it a “universal synergy crop,” fitting the experimental design of the Trader Event reward lineup.
