I have a Punica granatum 'Compactum', which has set fruit for the first time. I've been waiting patiently (kinda) for the fruit to ripen. We have had a lot of rain lately and when I went out today to check on it, I saw that many of the fruits had split open. Many of those are still green.
I took a pic of one. It has opened up more than when I pulled it off the plant.
I'm assuming it's not really edible at this point, but are the seeds viable?
Thanks!
