How much “full sun”

[JoshHolbrook]

So, we all probably know that poms are a full sun plant - but I’m curious - have any of you tried poms in a little less than full sun? I’ve got a bunch of nice locales but they typically come in at 7 hours of full sun in June - anyone ever tried in 7 hrs light? I know it’d be enough for all but the latest figs, but I don’t want to waste a couple years of time and premium space if any of you have had experience.

A good question and had to google the answer. Apparently, the answer of what the “full sun” means depends on the zone. Generally anything above 6 hours is considered “full”.

It seems your 7 hours is a full sun!

I see what you did there.

@greenfig, Thanks for sharing the link about how many hours of sun are needed for fruit production. As the article points out, location on the north, south, east, or west side of a structure or existing trees or bushes is important to a flowering plant. In Waddell's 9b climate, a western exposure might cause some varieties of pomegranate to sunburn, while an eastern exposure with afternoon shade would be a real benefit.

Great info! Hopefully those spots will work then... I’ll update you all in a year or two (lol).
