Pomegranate

Nice little tree. Do you plan to bonsai or no.

Not sure........as I said, it’s just a nice plant. I guess it’ll have to get a lot chubbier before I consider. I would miss that big canopy of flowers.

Yeah I had to do a double take.

That’s interesting. I swear we got in the teens, if not lower, this winter and the year before. Maybe the exact spot I put my trees is a little more sheltered than I thought. I’ll have to be more cautious now that I know. I love poms but I’m considering selling mine anyway, I have to prepare for school this fall.

This is a great chat. Now that a few years passed since the last post I was wondering if any of the pomegranate bonsai people from Chicago grow them under lights in a warm house during winter? or is it better that they get some cold and go dormant?

I have 2 different pomegranate trees I acquired this year. One is a twisted trunk that is in a bonsai container already. The others are in a 5 gallon nursery pot with multiple trunks.

I currently have my trees inside and the one in the 5 gallon pot continue to grow flowers. This is my first year with them and want to give them the best for next year. I added a few pictures for all of you to see.

I am not a Chicago person but am from IL. I keep my pomegranates inside under lights and they do fine and bloom throughout the winter.

Thanks Carol, I appreciate your reply. This is what I wondered. I was curious which one was better for the trees. My is currently blooming and I keep taking off about 5-10 flower buds a week.

When I read about them, the overwintering temperature they suggested for dormancy was just not something I could provide. My detached garage would be far too cold, so I made the decision to bring them in, with no ill effects.
