I am testing out pomegranates at my house, 5 varieties: wonderful seedlings, vietnamese red, sirenevyi, desertnyi, and angel red. So far the most vigorous one at my house is the desertnyi followed by the vietnamese red. The vietnamese red I bought as a mature plant that has already fruited, while the others are cuttings that will probably flower this year or the next. If you would like some cuttings I can send you some to try over there.
I have been told that the quality of angel red and desertnyi have been very good and usually rank as one of the top pomegranates, but the one I have seen the most frequently rated as top is the Parfianka pomegranate, which doesnt produce as well in South Florida.
