Question & Answer

Hi is the pomegranate from seed or cutting ? From:

It is grown from cutting which means that it will be true to type meaning it is genetically the same as the parent plant it came from meaning the taste, size of plant, cropping etc is that of the Wonderful Cultivar variety.

We like to purchase a pomagrante Wonderful tree is ok for planting in Clay grounds From: ASPENDALE GARDENS VIC

Pomegranate are hardy trees, but prefer well drained soil. To improve drainage in clay soils mound your planting site and add plenty of organic matter to your soil.

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)

Kathy2's Edible Fruits
Update: 2879 days 23hrs

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.

Kathy2 says... [2940 days 6hrs ago]

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

Well my Pomegranate grew beautifully and has doubled in size ... it had one flower last spring that was beginning to turn into a pomegranate ... but it just dropped off and I found it on the ground.

What was the problem do you think? It wasn't dry ... maybe over watered and over cared for maybe?

It's in full spring green again now so I'm hoping!

If you have any tips I'd really appreciate it.

Russ3's Edible Fruits
Update: 2133 days 24hrs

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.
