Rooting Pomegranate Cuttings

Post by Go0setrails »

Hello all,
I was able to get some cuttings recently.
Does rooting these work just like rooting fig cuttings?
Any extra care?

Thank you!

Congrats!
The pom cuttings are easy to root. I noticed they root faster with an additional heat. And they are much more forgiving than the figs since they don't rot that easily.
Good luck!
What varieties?

Thanks for the advise!
No idea what varieties these are. Got them from the in-laws (sucker from their tastiest tree)
They make huge fruit!

My climate is way different than yours but I have the most success when I stick the cuttings in water for a week or two then plant them in a cup outside. Anything I attempt to root inside usually molds and dies. Outside everything roots like crazy.
