Re: Pomegranate tree with roundish, bumpy green growths on trunk

Can you provide a zoomed out photo of the whole tree/trunk? How far apart are the two trees?

Some of mine developed these in spots where they had been pruned back at the base. I first thought it was due to bacterial infection but it turns out it was just callous and had no impact on the tree.

Re: Help me choose -- 7b

Welcome to the forum!

Parfianka is a pomegranate everyone should have despite it not being very cold hardy. Protect it and you won't be disappointed. This really is the champagne of pomegranates.

Sverkhranniy is early but not super cold hardy. Protect it and it will do well in your zone.

Unfortunately zero. This is three straight years now. It's really upsetting.

Re: Pomegranates Suitable for Central KY?

I had a cutting of Utah Sweet a few years ago but either gave it away or it died, I don't remember. Mine never grew to fruit bearing size. As a rule of thumb we typically recommenced protecting for at least the first 3 winters. Burlap helps but burlap + a trash can staked into the ground is a safer ...

Re: Pomegranates Suitable for Central KY?

Sudden changes in spring where the lows dip back to freezing for several days or sudden frost after bud break will kill trees even in warm zones. Wind is also another factor.

Sirenevyi is too late even in California and should be avoided. It will not ripen in your zone.

Sverkhranniy is something ...

Re: Pomegranates Suitable for Central KY?

How long is your grow season? Does your property have a micro climate? Does your area go through periods ...

Pomegranate results in Detroit Michigan

I saw this on Facebook marketplace today and felt slightly sad and disappointed in my work. These are exemplary results of what can be grown in Detroit in containers. The trees in these photos are only 3 years old.

Mine are all coming up on 6 or 7 years, and quite frankly my results suck and have ...

Re: Pomegranate Rootstock in Belgium

Hello Tom,

Fantastic to have you here! What hardiness zone are you in? How long is your growing season? How big are the fruit getting?

Unlike citrus, little is known about the effect rootstock will play in fruit production in grafted pomegranates. But this forum is a good place to document ...
