I'm very interested to hear what people have to say about this too!

I'm sure you've figured out that the soft seeds are what the hype about Angel Red is, while Eversweet is supposedly good even when immature. Both are apparently early ripening.

My two cents, from a practical standpoint would be to go with Eversweet, since accurately gauging ripeness in pomegranates is rather difficult for the novice, you'd get more good tasting fruit this way. Also, Angel Red is covered by a patent and so is more expensive and only grown by a few nurseries (such as Monrovia).

Hi! Sorry I'm a few years late, but I'm curious which tree you decided to plant. :) I'm new to pomegranates and interested in hearing about your experience!

I have eversweet (or maybe sweet) either way there is no tart counter balance. I like it but prefer my sweet tart Sharp Velvet over it. Get both, one sweet, one sweet/tart both soft seed.
