Angel Red was selected from Wolfskill trials of soft seeded fruits, selection was based on color of shell at ripeness. I was a participant. The grower then went through an intense propagation effort and produced both the plants and commercial crop.
Many homeowners do not understand that the flavors of pomegranates vary widely under different climate or micro-climate condtions. The popular cultivar “Wonderful” tastes great when ripened on a plant in the CA central valley but has a lesser taste (in fact never fully ripens) here in coastal influenced San Diego county. In my experience the same is true of Parfianka and Angel Red. My favorites for this area are “Eversweet” and DPUN 0139.
