YOU KNOW MINE DID THE SAME AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT PULLED A LAZERUS AND RESURRECTED IT'S SELF WITH THE RAINS... IT IS BEAUTIFUL. IT HAS THORNS SO BE CAREFUL IF YOU DO CUT IT BACK.

Thanks, I was starting to wonder if anybody else has ever grown this! Or if anyone else ever reads this forum. I hope it fills in a little better! Now I have a little hope for it, yea!!!!

I am growing a few of these from seed and they seem to flower now and then again in the fall. They adore full sun and put on abundant growth after a rain.

I have two pomegranate trees that I bought 3 yrs ago- not dwarf, I think. I suspect mine would do better planted in a different location- one more protected from the wind. Maybe this yr I will try to wrap them loosely w/ plastic then dump some pine needles in to protect them.
I've only had blooms once and that was on one the yr after I bought them. (It was seeing the blooms of course that caused me to buy them!) I have never pruned mine.
I hope you get some good suggestions. Brandy

I bought one in Jan and it is beautiful. I still have it in a pot because not sure how hardy it is. Also, when I bought it it had two main stems/trunks and not sure I like the shape. Anyone know how to prune these? It is only 2-
l/2 ft tall.

I have one of the dwarf pomegranates in my herb garden. They
are quite cold hardy. I don't protect them. If they loose their leaves, don't jump the gun and think it's dead--they are deciduous.

Pippa, the dwarf pomegrate is often used for bonsai material because of its twiggy shape. I prune mine in the winter just to improve the branch structure so that it's interesting even when the leaves are bare. It should be hardy for you in the ground.

Yes, I have one too! It has very delicate leaves that dry out way too easily... but you're right that the flowers and the fruits are very distinctive and pretty!

Now, being in zone 5b, I have it over wintered in the garage and then will put it on the deck during spring and summer. My experience is that a good pruning will really rejuvenate this plant. After our long winter, it looks virtually DEAD with just some twiggy branches. However, after pruning in spring, it will come alive again.
