The pomegranate (Punica granatum) is a fruit-bearing deciduous shrub in the family Lythraceae, subfamily Punicoideae, that grows between 5 and 10 m (16 and 33 ft) tall. The pomegranate was originally found only throughout the Mediterranean region. It was introduced into Spanish America in the late 16th century and into California by Spanish settlers in 1769. This photograph shows a number of arils from a pomegranate. Photograph credit Ivar Leidus Recently featured:

Liberated?

" Skanderbeg and his forces liberated Kruja in Middle Albania and raised the Albanian flag."

Liberty is inappropriate term in this 15th century context.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 07:01, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
