Cultivated pomegranate is known for its secondary metabolites and antioxidants so does its wild variety i.e. wild pomegranate. In this study, secondary metabolites and antioxidants were determined from fruits (both green and red) of ten trees of wild pomegranate from Dhera ki Gali of Jammu province. It was found that red fruits have shown more metabolite content as compared to green fruits and peel part of fruits showed more activity as compared to pulp part. On comparing ten trees, it was also found that fruits of trees of upper reaches have shown more activity as compared to lower reaches indicating the impact of climatic factors on these fruits.
