Check out this great video on John Chater who talks about how his grandfather developed new varieties of pomegranates through a breeding program and his pursuit to follow in his grandfathers footsteps. Great varieties that we grow. I will also add a great picture in the comments of those varieties he developed.

This years varieties from the National Clonal Germplasm Respository 83 pomegranate varieties were received for free from the National Clonal Germplasm Respository. With these new varieties and other sources the number of varieties of pomegranates being researched here in Alabama has increased. Please note that there is quite a bit other new varieties in the video, but I did not list them. Here's a list of the varieties I received from the National Clonal Germplasm Repository that rooted; Agat Alk Pust Ghermez Saveh Anvarti Apseronski Bala Miursal Balkin Blaze Chandyr Chernaya Roza Cloud Crab Cranberry Dewey DK from Shevlan Dorosht 5 Hahanshahi Khoramabad Dotch Legrelley Double Red Double Red #2 Double Red-White DPUN 47 DPUN 74 DPUN 83 DPUN 31/69 DPUN 32/30 Elf Entek Habi Saveh Eve Eversweet Girkanets Gissarskii Alyi Gold Green Globe Gulistan Gulyalek Haka Taka Haku Batan How Sweet It Is Hvalynskii Hyrdanar X Goulosha Hyrdanar X Kirmizy Akbuh Ink Kaim Anor Kanekasyrskii Kislastadkii Kkrasnyi Kaj Acik Anor Kara Bala Muirsal Kara Gul Kara Kalinskii Kazake Kemine Ki-Zakuro King Kopetdag Kubarchaty Kukurchinskii Kunduzski Kyz Bibi Loffani Loulou Lyubimyi Machtumkuli Mae Mahali Dezful Mejhos 6269 Nisa Nochi Shibori Nusai Orange Parfyanets Phoenicia Pink Saharnyi Seidi Sejanec 2-5/8 Shihinderskii Shirin Pust Ghermez Saveh Sin Pepe Small Leaf Sour Tabestani Males Biranden Saveh Toryu-Shibori WEO 50 White Flower Zubejda (Denau) What is the National Clonal Germplasm Respository? The National Clonal Germplasm Respository at Davis California is one of about 20 federally funded gene banks in the National Plant Germplasm System of the United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service and operates in cooperation with the University of California, Davis California. The repository is dedicated to the conservation and management of genetic resources of Mediterranean fruit and nut crop species such as stone fruit, almond, walnut, pistachio, olive, fig, pomegranate, persimmon, mulberry, kiwi fruit, and grape. The mission of the repository is to acquire, conserve, evaluate and distribute the crop species assigned to the NCGR. The collections are maintained as live plants and distributed as cuttings to public and private sector plant researchers, nurseries, growers, and other users worldwide. Currently the NCGR Davis maintains over 6,600 accessions representing 15 genera and 175 species of fruit and nut crops, with grapes and stone fruits accounting for over half of the collection. For mote information on NCGR Davis, visit www.ars-grin.gov/dav. The plants in the Davis gene bank are mainly preserved through vegetative propagation. Easily rootable species are propagated in mist beds in greenhouses and well established plants are then transferred to field collections. other species are propagated through grafting/budding onto suitable root-stocks and maintained in a container nursery until the grafted plants are fully established. Backup collections of grape, grape relatives and some prunus collections are also held in the nursery. Germplasm from NCGR Davis is distributed int the form of cuttings. Cuttings must be rooted or grafted/budded to produce a plant. NCGR Davis does not provide this service to requestors. The order deadlines for winter cuttings is November 1. Priority is given to private and public researchers for the purpose of crop improvement and cultivar development. Distributed material is subject to quarantine regulations. It is the responsibility of the requester to provide plant import permits.
