Pomegranate - Wonderful (Grafted) ^10/10

Comments: -

Soil here is just building rubble so all trees are in big pots.  Pom only planted less than a year ago and just experienced its first Melb winter. New shoots all over, no sign of flowers yet. Fed regularly with cow manure and domestic compost. Very cold winter this year, several frosts (really unusual because we are on the coast). Confident of getting fruit although maybe not this year. Poms do fruit in Melbourne.

Pomegranate - Wonderful (Seedling)

Comments: -

It might be a Wonderful - the folliage looks right but I can't be sure. This plant is an icon of my childhood memories. It sprang up unbidden in my grandma's garden and I was lucky enough to get the only seedling it has ever produced. The fruit are small but the bush is only small. In fact at the moment she looks like she has more flowers than leaves!

She is very slow growing, and the branches are very fragile. You should use scissors to cut the fruit off because if you pull or twist you can take a whole branch with it.

She is very hardy though. She has been snapped in half a number of times (evil street children with soccer balls) and always come back.

Spring 2011: I saved some seeds from a fruit last year and now have lots and lots of beautiful tiny little seedlings.

They also strike exceptionally easy if you wanted to take cuttings.

Thanks for the heads up John! :O) Knowing that, I might take some cuttings from my friend's tree to get another variety going.

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 - Wonderful ^8/10

Comments: - Never had the chance to try the pomegranate fruit. I have had two new stems branches out and grow, now take over the other two original two stems. I have had no dramas with this one at all I just re-potted with a mix of potting mix, quincan rocks, a little cow/chook poo and a little peat it's happy as. Didn't really like the full sun, It wilted quick, so I got it in partial sun and it's being introduced to the harsh Cairns sun slowly. Easy plant so far to satisfy.

I saw this variety for sale at a supermarket the other, it is truly a gorgeous looking fruit almost rounded with crimson colour.

The plant's current size may be too small and fragile to be planted in the ground so I planted in a bigger pot until next Winter.

Planted in bigger pot in September 2010.

THE SWEET-SOUR TANGY TASTE IS MOST REFRESHING THIRST QUENCHER DURING HOT SUMMER DAYS BETTER THAN THE SUGARED DRINKS OF TODAY. NOT TO MENTION THE HIGHLY DECORATIVE VALUE OF THE TREE WHEN IN BLOOM FOLLOWED BY A LUXURIOUS LOOKING FRUIT FIT FOR THE ROYALTY. NO WONDER IT WAS ASSOCIATED TO APHRODITE, THE GODDESS OF BEAUTY BY THE ANCIENT GREEKS.

The flowers are so vivid and beautiful - fruit will be a bonus!

Bought from Bunnings so I am not sure on the variety, we have had flowers twice so far but no fruit.  In a massive pot - this is our second attempt with the pommegranate - our first plant was in the pot and did not drain properly - with our wet season there was two inches of water in the top of the pot for about a week and the plant died. We now have made sure the drainage is better (more holes in the pot and a small layer of gravel) and the new tree is thriving

Black sopote died.  I knew it would be sensitive to cold and frost so put it in a warm position but it was not well drained of good rich soil which I think gradually meant it could not get established & finally died.
