### Presentation of the Acco Pomegranate Variety for Market Gardeners and Professional Producers

**Introduction**

Dear producers and market gardeners, let me introduce you to the Grenadier Acco variety, an exceptional discovery to enrich your pomegranate production. Originally from Israel, this variety stands out for its many advantages, both in terms of taste and productivity, making it a relevant choice for a competitive market.

**Fruit Characteristics**

The Acco pomegranate tree produces medium-sized, rather large, round-shaped, bright red-fleshed fruits with bright red skin. The fruits of this variety have a mild, sweet, and slightly acidic flavor, making them ideal for fresh consumption and juice.

**Performance and Productivity**

This pomegranate tree is distinguished by its precocity, reaching maturity about 15 days before varieties such as 'ER', allowing it to be marketed from mid-September to mid-October. It offers an average yield of 25 kg per tree, with a planting density of 400 trees per hectare.

**Robustness and Growing Conditions**

The Acco pomegranate is vigorous and hardy, resistant to cold down to -15°C, and displays excellent resistance to disease, giving it remarkable longevity with an adult height of 3 to 5 meters. It tolerates calcareous soils and benefits from relative resistance to drought. However, it requires well-aerated soil to avoid any problems of root asphyxiation.

**Culture and Maintenance**

This self-fertile variety generally does not require staking, making it easy to grow. It is recommended for the south of France due to its precocity and tolerance to mildly temperate climates. However, the Acco pomegranate requires special attention to excess water during the winter.

**Conclusion and Perspectives**

The Acco Pomegranate is a strategic choice for growers looking to diversify their offerings with a productive, resilient variety valued for its organoleptic qualities. We recommend following our recommendations to optimize your growing techniques and reap the rewards of your labor.
