Questions & Answers
Pomegranate trees (Punica granatum) generally have non-aggressive root systems. They are relatively shallow-rooted compared to larger trees like oaks or willows, and their roots typically don't pose a significant risk to water or sewer lines. However, as with any tree, roots will naturally seek out water sources, so if there are existing cracks in pipes or sewer lines, the roots could potentially infiltrate those areas over time.
Key points about pomegranate roots:
Root depth: Pomegranate roots tend to stay shallow, typically growing within the top 2 feet of soil.
Non-invasive: The roots are not considered aggressive, especially when compared to species known for invasive roots (e.g., willows or bamboo).
Planting distance: As a precaution, it’s advisable to plant any tree, including pomegranates, at least 10-15 feet away from water or sewer lines.
While it's unlikely that pomegranate trees will cause issues, planting them a safe distance from utility lines can help avoid potential problems, especially if the pipes are old or damaged.

Customer Reviews
The other is not. I intend to see what happens over the winter and may be contacting you about your guarantee at that time. My only problem, besides that is that it too over a year for you to fill the order. I understand your problems with the suppliers and all but maybe you should wait to advertise a product until you can deliver it.
