Just bumping this back up. It’s been a year, zone 6 here.Wv. Last year I brought some small one year old potted poms inside the house before frost. After a month or so the leafs turned yellow and fell off ( A real mess ). Mid winter they grew back and looked good by spring. No losses . Also left som...

Many of the white flys around these days seem resistant to about all chemical control.
About the only thing I have found that works well is....
Water !
A VERY forceful spay on the underside of the leaves , on a weekly routine, will keep them at bay.
A summer type horticultural oil may also work

So just to be clear here ..
My goal is ....for winter hardyness... Fist..!
( with out that.. I just have too many house plants )
Then .. Fruit . Of acceptable quality. .. For my zone .
So.. Any edible Pom here would be good. ( or more than I have now .)

So I could agree with a~ 6-8 ft spacing if you thought they would all survive? What I have is a bunch of seedlings that I have grown out from seed of several plantings in Ga. These are 2yrs old , in tree pots, over wintered inside last 2 yrs. about 3ft tall. Multiple shoots bigger than a pencil. Hop...

How close in the row ? For a fair trial.
2ft.?
3ft.
4..?
Ideas ?

Any ideas here ?

From what I see and understand, poms flower and fruit on new growth ( current seasons growth ) So it seems like a good dormant heading back should bring on more growth and blooms / fruit. Yet I find little good info on line about pruning poms. Do you thin branches to get more growth on the remaining...

@brambleberry
That is encouraging that you got fruit in Indiana !
Are you close to the river ?

What does this mean ?
Don't really understand?

Most poms I have seen growing are a bush form with multiple trunks. That is the way they seam to want to grow. But I have seen photos of very old tree forms with a single trunk. Would a single trunk form be a advantage? Focusing the energy of growth into a smaller area. Would they be more resilient ...
