Description

Showy all year long. Visual highlights include orange-red blossoms in late spring and golden-yellow foliage in fall. Vibrant flowers attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Glossy green leaves are long and slender. Large red fruit has compartments full of soft seeds. Sweet and tangy flesh is ideal for juicing, but can also be eaten fresh. A natural source of Vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber. If winter causes dieback, new growth from the roots remains true to variety. Needs winter protection in zone 7 and lower. Grows well in containers! Introduced to California in 1896. Ripens in September. Self-pollinating.

Survival Guaranteed!

Since 1816, Stark Bro’s has promised to provide customers with the very best fruit trees and plants. It’s just that simple. However, because annual plants are naturally short-lived and complete their life cycle in a single growing season, our standard one-year survival guarantee does not apply to annuals. If your annuals arrive damaged or fail to thrive within the first 14 days after delivery, please contact us immediately so we can make it right. For all other plants, our full one-year warranty still applies. Read more about our warranty policy.

My Hardiness Zone ?
The USDA hardiness zones offer a guide to varieties that will grow well in certain climates. Each zone corresponds to the minimum winter temperatures experienced in a given area. Make sure that your hardiness zone lies within the zone compatibility range of this variety before ordering.
This item can be grown in colder climates if it's planted in a container and brought indoors during the winter months. If you're planting it outdoors in the ground, we recommend being within the outdoor zone range.

Pollination

This variety is self pollinating.

In many cases, you may still want to plant pollinating partners to increase the size of your crops, but with self-pollinating varieties doing so is optional. You'll get fruit with only one plant!

What winter protection is needed for the Wonderful Pomegranite in zone 7A?

Here is a very good article about protecting/winterizing your fruit trees, no matter which zone you're in: //www.starkbros.com/growing-guide/article/winter-protection-fruit-trees

How can I keep the height below 10 feet? Zone 6B, going to grow in high tunnel.

Pruning will probably be your best bet maintaining the overall height. If you are also growing the pomegranate in a large container, this may help keep the mature height smaller than it would be if planted in the ground.

I am in 6A and would need to grow this in a container. What size container would you recommend?

You can start with a 10" container, and when the roots begin to reach the edge of the pot, it's time to "pot up". You can keep potting up in 4" increments until you reach a container size of 20' or 24", depending upon how large you want the tree to get, then air-prune the roots every few years to keep the tree that size without becoming rootbound and also to re-invigorate it.

can i get this as a dwarf?

This tree is naturally very close to a dwarf size, 10 - 15' tall. You can easily prune it to keep it smaller than that.

I am in zone 7A and the plant from you now is about a 1 foot tall. I am concerned about the winter survival and left the plant in the pot. Can it be brought inside for the winter months? I did read the winterization article but really not sure how a small plant like this will do in the winter outside.

Please plant your tree in the ground as soon as you can. The pot in which it was shipped is not meant to be a permanent home. By planting now, you'll give the roots a chance to become established, then you can mulch with 3-4 inches of straw or bark, protect it from any north wind, and the tree will be fine.

Hello, I ordered a wonderful Pomegranate in Oct and currently transplanted in a bigger container and indoors gets light from led tube lights all day. It is growing new leaves in about 7 spots. But hasn’t got leaves on other new sprouts past 3 weeks. I plan to transfer it on ground which will be its permanent spot in April when it is a little warmer. I water twice a week. Am I doing everything that’s needed? Please also recommend what I extra attention it needs since I am in a border zone.

Depending on wattage and quality of LED will have a large effect on tree health.
Do you have a sunny window? That should be enough light for your use.
Pomegranate are deciduous trees, I wouldn’t expect too many leaves till around February if indoors and depending on your location, day length etc..
Keep watered but don’t over water. Ensure proper drainage in pot and do not fertilize until spring. Super Thrive is a good product to keep stress down, and top mulch the potting soil once a week as needed.

How do you grow pomagranet in a pot?

Size of the pot and pot preparation are the most important step. Make sure that is large enough for your plant to grow in for a few years limits the amount of replanting. The pot requires drainage holes in the bottom of the pot. You must drill 1/2 inch holes in the bottom of the pot. If you skip this step excess water will not drain properly and kill your plants. In addition you need 2 to 4 inches of rocks in the bottom of the pot also for drainage. Lastly use a good quality potting soil. All dirt is not the same. If you do these things growing in a pott is actually easy.

Can you espalier this variet?

I have this growing in my yard. I did not try to espalier it, but I can tell you that the branches are soft and flexible, and for about two years it wants to grow as a shrub, so I have had to "train it" up with a post and trim it to act like a tree.

Can I keep this in my garage over winter (zone 6a), or do I need to bring it inside?

We're presuming it's in a container. You can wrap it in an old blanket and keep it in an unheated garage or shed, no need to bring it indoors. It needs to go dormant to complete the fruiting cycle.

Hi, I plan to keep this Pomegranate as a container plant. What kind of soil is best?

Any good quality potting soil will be fine. Please don't use "garden soil" or soil from the ground; it will be too heavy. Pomegranates like a little bit of acidity, so you may want to adjust the pH of the soil downward until it's in the 6.0 range.

A Warm Climate Staple
I purchased this tree a few years ago and planted it in my berry patch, where it gets full morning sun and afternoon shade from spring to fall. This tree is drought and heat tolerant, low maintenance, grows tall and flowers profusely, setting fruit in the spring. That being said, the fruits aren't often ripe enough to eat until around the end of October/beginning of November, so be mindful of that window if you're planting this in zone 9B. Also, when watering, make sure that the watering zone is deep and wide. Mine nearly fell over because the roots were too shallow and had to be staked to keep it upright.

Underated Indoor Plant
As someone who loves pomegranates I was so excited to see that I could grow my own in Mid-Mo. I received this plant during its dormancy and while it's now out, its had tremendous growth and has been very easy to take care of. I've had great experience growing this indoors for a beginner!
