Hi Carlos,

Very nice! Where are you located? North, South??

I planted a vendor provided bush 3'-0 tall Wonderful pomegranate in the beginning of 2016, it grew so well all year and made half dollar sized fruit & hundreds of flowers. Beautiful and added a nice bright red to the scene. But winter came and burned it down to a stick 1'-0 tall w/no branches. Saddened, I trimmed deadwood and mulched alot. Finally it produced new leaves. Here in late august 2017 it has regrown branches and fruited the same half dollar sized fruit. Apparently they don't like cold much.

From seed.. will try this route soon!!

Thanks!!

Cori Ann,

Thanks for your input! I thought they grew flowers/fruit more like from the 3rd year onward, not like 1-3, but good to know :) I re-potted these 2 days ago, they don't even stress when I do so, along with 2 meyer lemon trees.

cgrim10,

I'm in Dominican Republic. That's too bad the cold kicked it :( here we don't get snow or very cold winters, but if there's any harsh rain or whatever I can bring them inside my place specially when they are that small. I'm glad your's recovered and regained its health back along with the beautiful flowers/fruits.

And yes that red is deep and beautiful :D

This is a picture of it this morning (21 hours later) I'm in love :$

Carlos they love heat. They should do well for you. We have had heat waves lately (above 105F) and mine isn't showing any real stress. I'm growing it across a trellis. :-)

Cori, that's beautiful!!! I'd love to get mine as yours one day :D I guess I have about 3 years to save enough money to buy land and move there with all my plants hahaha (which is actually my true plan)

You could probably keep them in pots for white a few years and they would do just fine. :-)

Hi Cori,

How long have you had yours potted? Always? They are what I remember. Grandpa had a nice tall one in the ground in the back of the bird dog pen down on the gulfcoast. We were scared, but we got to them! That is a fine looking pomegranate!

Thanks cgrim. I hope you're doing ok in east Texas! Hurricane Harvey looks so devastating!

This pomegranate is actually going in the ground after our heat wave ends... supposedly in about 2 weeks. It is a fairly new edition to this garden. I cheated. I didn't start it from seed like Carlos. :-)

In past gardens I have had potted pomegranates and pomegranates in the ground though. And started some from seeds. The ones in the ground could spread out and get huge, while the ones in pots cold stay nicely groomed and were easier to harvest. Both tasted great and seemed equally healthy. They can be pretty messy, but such is life. I like to keep my fruit trees smaller or trellis them when I can because it seems to make it easier to harvest and I think it looks pretty. :-)
