Eugene's Home / Dwarf Pomegranate - Punica granatum nana

[eugenev2]

Some more new additions. I was worried about these they didn't handle the repot well at all, dropped all their leaves

But i see some hope growing here

Probably way to early to assume i'm out of the woods here, but it would look like they survived their first repot

Aren’t pomegranates deciduous?

Aren’t pomegranates deciduous?

From the research i've done It depends on the variety/region and probably whether they are in a pot or the ground, but i'm unsure about the dwarf variety as i cannot find a lot of information on them. But they were essentially green until i repotted them. Regardless i'm happy that they are still with me

Im doing my research atm about pomgrenate as i aquired on saturday...
As from what i understand they are mediterranian trees wich dont like frost to much , they do go dormant in colder climates but they can keep their foliage year round if temperatures stay higher some treat them as tropical altough to get them to flower and fruit and stay healthy on the long run its better to let then go into dormacy over winter.
I will have going protect mine in winter as we get days and nights well below zero

With climate i'm fine, it rarely gets cold enough to justify any protection. The issue i've found with this dwarf variety so far (especially in a pot) is that they are extremely heat and water temperamental, they don't like it when it gets too hot...ironic for a Mediterranean species...or too cold for that matter and they don't like it when they get too dry or too wet, the prefer a just in time approach...which has proven very problematic for my current level of attention i can provide them with their chosen aggerate. I will probably have to rethink what aggerate i put them in as watering them everyday just before the heat is not feasible

My Punica granatum nana is now 5 years old and super healthy. I keep it in my 55° greenhouse in the winter, usually keep it outside to get some nights below 40° in the fall.
My substrate is pumice: coco coir @ 2:1.
I water every morning and it's never been bother by 90° plus temperatures.
It flowers profusely and has produced fruit the last couple of years (which I cut off before they attain much size).
