Pomegranate Tree

His face was more beautiful than millions upon millions of moons, and His teeth were like pomegranate seeds because of His chewing betel.
(CC Adi 5.188)

As the Lord walked around just like a young child, His mother became frightened thinking that His reddish feet were bleeding.
COMMENTARY
Since the lotus feet and toes of the Lord looked as red as pomegranate flowers, Śacīdevī feared that the Lord’s lotus feet were bleeding.
(Śrī Caitanya-bhāgavata, Ādi-khaṇḍa 4.82)

‘My dear friend, this forest of Vṛndāvana is giving great pleasure to our senses in various ways. Somewhere bumblebees are singing in groups, and in some places mild breezes are cooling the entire atmosphere. Somewhere the creepers and tree twigs are dancing, the mallikā flowers are expanding their fragrance, and an overabundance of juice is constantly flowing in showers from pomegranate fruits.
(CC Antya 1.160)
