How to Grow Pomegranate Trees
Pomegranate trees (Punica granatum) are prized for their nutrient-rich fruit and ornamental beauty. Native to the Mediterranean, these self-pollinating trees showcase brilliant red-orange flowers, attracting hummingbirds. With glossy green leaves turning yellow-gold in the fall, pomegranate trees offer a stunning contrast.
Harvesting in the fall reveals edible seeds within the berry-like fruit. Whether for antioxidants or a unique addition to your garden, pomegranate trees thrive, even in containers. Consider your climate and choose the right-sized tree to ensure success. Mature trees reach about 20' tall and wide, but pruning can keep them smaller. Check hardiness zones to guarantee fruit production and tree survival.
To ensure your growing success and satisfaction, follow these recommendations for success in planting and harvesting.
