Punica granatum has been extensively studied in recent years in different fields of science, especially in health, where we can find thousands of studies on its beneficial effects; however, most of these studies have been carried out on commercial varieties, leaving aside exotic varieties such as dwarf pomegranate (P. granatum var. nana), which is a variety known throughout the world for its ornamental use. This peculiarity has reduced the possibility of being studied, especially in health. The objective of this narrative review focuses on showing the characteristics, generalities and preclinical studies that have been found on this inedible ornamental pomegranate. The characteristics, uses of the pomegranate in traditional medicine, and in vivo and in vitro studies of biological anticancer, antidiabetic, hepatoprotective, antibacterial, antifungal, anthelmintic, and anti-inflammatory activities were found in various parts of this fruit, as well as important phytochemical components that support these biological activities. The information obtained indicates that it is necessary to deepen the study of this variety because the studies that have been carried out are still scarce despite being an easy plant to grow. It is still unknown if the biological activities that they possess have an effect on human health, since there are no clinical studies in this regard, and it is also unknown if these are of lesser or greater magnitude compared to edible varieties.

While the properties of edible pomegranate varieties have been widely explored, there is little information on ornamental types. In this study, possible alternatives for the valorization of dwarf pomegranate fruits have been explored. The characterization of their hydromethanolic extract by gas chromatography−mass spectrometry evidenced the presence of high contents of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (a carbon-neutral feedstock for the production of fuels and other chemicals) and β- and γ-sitosterol stereoisomers. The microbicidal activity of the crude extract, both alone and in a conjugate complex with chitosan oligomers (COS), was investigated against three plant pathogenic microorganisms that cause significant losses in woody crops: Erwinia amylovora, E. vitivora, and Diplodia seriata. In in vitro assays, a strong synergistic behavior was found after conjugation of the bioactive constituents of the fruit extract with COS, resulting in minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 750 and 375 μg·mL−1 against E. amylovora and E. vitivora, respectively, and an EC90 value of 993 μg·mL−1 against D. seriata. Hence, extracts from the non-edible fruits of this Punicaceae may hold promise as a source of high value-added phytochemicals or as environmentally friendly agrochemicals.
