Pomegranate Seedlings

Post by alanmercieca »

I have several projects that I am wondering if anyone(s) would be interested in helping me with.

01) I have seeds of 5 varieties of pomegranates from the Island of Malta, much of which should grow a different version of the same variety. I can not germinate all of them myself.
02) In the future I'd like to help make pomegranate hybrids, whether I'd donate pollen to someone else, or them donate pollen to me, or I pollinate my plant(s) with pollen from my own bush(es), then people would take some of the seeds and germinate them, and update me on the results.

Might anyone be able to help with any of that?

Hi Alan,


Are your varieties from Malta dwarf or typical size?

Some are definitely full sized, others appear to be semi dwarf or dwarf, yet it's hard to know how old a tree that looks dwarf may really be. They could be much younger than they look.
