Great.I have started my nurse ry.

[@husch05]

I tried it last spring of 2022 and they have grown decently in their first season. When autumn arrived, my pomegranates lost all of their leaves (one had gotten yellow leaves, the ones of my other pomegranate got red and yellow). Make sure that your pomegranate will go completely dormant in winter, as that makes the overwintering process a lot easier (they need less light without leaves!!). In winter, you want them to ideally stay above freezing temparatures, but you shouldn't let them bring them inside your living room, as they may resprout and have fragile growth in winter. Pomegranates are frost tolerant though, mine survived -15°C with protection in Southern Germany. If everything goes well, they will start growing again in spring. Mine are already starting to prepare themselves for spring as of march, the buds are starting to turn green! Btw, make sure your pomegranates never have their soil be completely dry in winter, when you keep them in containers, as they can easily dry out when the soil is frozen.

[@steveday4797]

Great video. Sounds like an excellent project to try, especially as I love pomegranates

[@shockbonker]

I planted mine directly in pot. All seeds germinated 😮now I need to pot up like you show individually.

[@annedorothy1]

Having watched your video I am now growing these in the Galapagos Islands. They are growing quite ast in 3 months they are about 7cm. I shall relax with a glass of wine - also curtesy of your videos !

[@PlantLifeYT]

Fantastic! Cheers!🥂

[@paulallerston3771]

Really cool idea. Would never have thought to grow pomegranates at home...

[@nathanortiz3671]

What a thorough and helpful video! Thank you!

[@PlantLifeYT]

Glad it was helpful!

[@supergrover17]

I'm trying this right now, the napkin edition ✊🏿💯😁 Wishing everyone success n good luck 🤞🏿🍀

[@kevinboettler7342]

Awesome

[@chrissylarsen5531]

i love pomegranates! im starting this project! do you have anymore tips?

[@PlantLifeYT]

They are slow to grow, so don't get discouraged!

[@forumpolice101]

pomegranates never go bad in my house.

[@glenrosesibongile9946]

Good video it's very informative what can I use to boost my tree to grow well it's been two years since I've plough it but it doesn't yet produce any fruit pls help me

[@PlantLifeYT]

Trees do not bear well until 5 or 6 years old. Flowering starts in late spring and continues into summer; under suitable conditions the fruit should mature 5 to 7 months later. High temperatures are essential during fruit development for a good flavour. Also, twice per year, in March and November, feed your pomegranate tree 2 to 2.5 pounds of 8-8-8 fertilizer. As your new tree reaches maturity, consider amending the soil with compost instead of fertilizing it.

[@edgarcorrea6242]

Haw far north will they grow. I planted passion fruit on the foot off my mangoes and now I get passion fruits for 4 months when I am not getting mangoes

[@user-rb2jw3pp1m]

Its may in zone 9. Can i start now? Thats if i find one at the store. Maybe best to buy seed packet or a root?

[@PlantLifeYT]

Sure you can start now. I typically can’t find the fruit at the store this time of year so that may hinder progress.

[@eddavanleemputten9232]

Seeing this video I got inspired… and then I go confused. The US sites say 3 years u tik fruiting, the Dutch language sites say 6 years. US sites say it’s mildly frost-resistant (10°F to 18°F) and the Dutch language sites tell me these plants should be kept in containers and brought inside in winter. Sheesh… Still giving this a try. I’ll often buy a pomegranate as a treat. Why not spirit away some seeds and give it a go? I’d love it if you were to give me some feedback regarding climate requirements temperature wise though!

[@PlantLifeYT]

I found the same thing Edda. As we are in Florida we don't really have to worry about cold. I wish I could give you a more clear answer, but it might be due to varietal differences.

[@eddavanleemputten9232]

@@PlantLifeYT - I guess I’ll simply cross fingers and toes, and allow a few seeds to germinate. 🙂

[@emihayashi7725]

What climate zone is your garden?

[@PlantLifeYT]

Our area is labeled 10a- 10b

[@Firelordmiah]

How do you plant them?

[@PlantLifeYT]

Plant them in the ground similarly to how I showed transferring to a larger pot. Dig a whole roughly twice the size of your pot. Fill in as needed.

[@davidkraiger4377]

Will they grow in Michigan

[@PlantLifeYT]

That is a good question. They can tolerate moderate frost, down to about −12 °C (10 °F). I am thinking Michigan gets colder than that, but I do not know.

[@davidkraiger4377]

@@PlantLifeYT it often gets below zero here in Michigan. A few years ago it went down to 25 below 0

[@smokeyblack4]

Do they grow true to Seed?

[@PlantLifeYT]

There is a greater chance of diversity from growing pomegranate from seed. If you access to a know variety of tree, growing pomegranate from a cutting will be true to the parent plant.

[@colleenthompson7096]

HELP!!!! I really had a horrific infestation of those leaf-footed bugs last season. I mean, BAD!!! I pretty much want to give up and cut the bush down completely. What is neem oil, and how is it applied, please? Thank you!

[@PlantLifeYT]

Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that! One of the best ways of dealing with these pests is to limit their number in the first place. Make sure to weed around your plants and pick up any dropped fruit. Keep any wood piles far away as that is a perfect spot for the bugs to hide during winter. Encourage natural predators such as wasps and birds to visit your garden. Neem oil is a natural insecticide from the neem tree and can be found at most garden centers. It will work best on the younger bugs. You simply spray it on the bugs and the plant. Make sure to follow the directions as it is best applied either very early morning or late evening.

[@brandonmonroe7050]

I'm trying this with a store bought now and I know pomegranate seeds don't grow true to type but will they grow good tasting fruit? I mean is it possible to grow a bad tasting pomegranate?

[@PlantLifeYT]

Unfortunately I can’t answer that with certainty. I hope they turn out good for you!

[@StinkyPopi]

i tried it and i got a lot of seeds growing, they are now like 40cm long, but the bottom leaves start yellow and fall off, does anyone had the same problem? what could cause it?

[@PlantLifeYT]

Could be an overwatering problem or simply a weather change.

[@shahidjamil407]

Hi i live in dubai. I ate Spanish pomegranates from the market here. They were very sweet. Now how can I grow a plant from these pomegranate seeds. And I want to plant them in Pakistan. Can you tell me which month should be for planting them? And how. How can I take this pomegranate tree from there?

[@PlantLifeYT]

I’m not familiar with the growing conditions of Pakistan but it appears that pomegranates grow well there. You should be able to follow the same method shown in this video to start a plant as I couldn’t find a significant difference in Spanish Pomegranates. Remember that pomegranates don’t grow true from seed so you might not get the same sweet fruit as what you experienced from the market.

[@edgarcorrea6242]

I guess if they frow in Germany they will grow in all of Florida

[@PlantLifeYT]

They should be fine outdoors in zones 8 - 11, but can be grown in containers father north to be moved inside went it’s too cold.

[@jingywolf]

Is this really true??

[@jingywolf]

???

[@PlantLifeYT]

It can take up to four years for pomegranates to produce quality fruit. Mine have yet to do so but they are four feet tall now.

[@jingywolf]

@@PlantLifeYT okay thanks you so much for the tutorial and for answering my questions i wish I could see your promigranates now as well ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹
