Title
Pomegranate Tree, Punica granatum L.
Description
Conditioned to Meditteranean temperatures, pomegranates had to be grown in greenhouses within colder regions of Europe. One of these structures, dubbed the Versailles Orangerie, was designed with both plant life and theatrical entertainment in mind. Visitors could stroll endlessly gazing at foreign fruits planted by Valentin Lopin.
