Pomegranates… Who else loves them?

Just wanted to share this! Pomegranates are my favorite fruit. Anyone else growing them?

So nice! :heart: I grew one from a seed but it never flowered :pensive: I read that they flower at the branch tips, so I never pruned it. Later, I realized I might’ve misunderstood. I did a big trim a few weeks ago—hoping that helps! :slightly_smiling_face:

@Ben
Calcium and potassium will help it bloom. If you don’t feed it, it won’t flower.

Oh, I had no idea! Thanks! :blush: Should I start feeding it when it comes out of dormancy, or wait a bit longer?

@Ben
You’ve put in so much care—I bet it’ll bloom soon!

@Ben
Mine grow wild on my property, and they always bloom… I don’t even do anything! But I hear the same thing about my other fruit trees and get nothing. So weird.

Looks great! Is it the full-size variety or a dwarf one?

It’s the full-size variety.

It’s the full-size variety.

Good to know! I’ve been hesitant to get one since I don’t have much space to keep it inside during winter (it can hit -30°C here), but if they fruit well at that size, I’d love to try growing one.

Wow, that looks amazing!

So fresh and healthy! I need one!

Beautiful! We planted ours last fall. Do you know how old this one is?

You’re brave for trying pomegranates in Zone 7b! :laughing:

We just went for it! We have a fig tree that’s thriving here too. The weather’s getting warmer each year, so why not? Plus, it was only €20, so no big loss if it fails! :joy:

Omg I need one now!!

So jealous! You did a great job.

Absolutely beautiful!
