Pest Control: Nothing as doesn't appear to have any diseases.  

Question: The first flower of the year in Spring is always a female flower but no male flowers to pollinate it.  All the other flowers that come a few days later are male flowers so I never get any fruit as by that stage my one female flower has died.   Is there anything I can do to increase the female to male flower ratio come next Spring?

Pomegranate - Azerbaijani (Seedling) ^10/10

Comments: - Huge glowing ruby fruits, big as my neighbour's 6 yr old's head - I had 15 in the first year and 25 in the second. The whole street enjoyed them. Works as a shade tree from strong summer westering sun in my front yard. So much freit, I used many to make pomegranate vinegar. Only watered weekly in Summer. Takes intense heat and dry and asks for more.

Pomegranate - Wonderful (Seedling) ^7/10

Comments: -

Growing really well in gutless sandy soil.  Our soil is very alkaline.  Pomegranate's go for around 5.5 to 7 PH but can tolerate considerable amounts of alkalinity and sodium in the soil.  I aim these days to find plants that prefer sandy well draining soil and are happy in limestone conuntry near the sea!.  It is far easier to keep happy plants that enjoy their surrounding than try to change the surroundings to suit the plant.  Putting some structure into the soil (mulch, manue ect.) helps too.  Beautiful flowers and now having its first crop in 2018

Pomegranate - Elche (Cutting) ^10/10

Comments: - A really great tasting pomegranate for home growers - plus the Autumn foliage is stunning...bright yellow. 
The fruit doesn't split here either. I am really cruel to this plant - it's been shifted 4x and is now doing duty in a big pot - providing emergency shade to a camellia this summer. Tough as old boots.
