Re: Pomegranates
In case anyone is interested, I'd like to recommend a book recently published by Dr. Gregory M Levin. It is called Pomegranate Roads, A Soviet Botanists's Exile from Eden.
This book is about the life and collecting adventures of the Famous Soviet Agriculturalist, Dr. Levin, before, during and after the collapse of the communist Soviet Union. It does have some technical information about pomagranite horticulture. A friend of mine has translated this work into english. It is a fascinating look into the Dr's life and passion for the pomagranite. So many more varieties than you could ever imagine. Too many varieties were lost forever. But many survive, some being sent to the USA for trials. If you do read it, please let me know how you enjoy the book. And I will pass it along to my friend, who will pass it on to Dr. Levin. He is quite elderly now.
