| Our pomegranate tree this morning. |
Since we've had a few pomegrante questions coming in in the past week (it's the tail end of harvest time) I thought I'd provide a link to more information on growing pomegranates than you'll ever need to know courtesy of UC Davis.
If you live in a hot, dry climate that doesn't freeze much you should get yourself a pomegranate tree. They'll grow in more humid climates but may not produce much fruit. Ours took five years, from planting as a bare root tree, to get the modest crop you see in the picture.
It's one of my favorite trees--delicious fruit, a red flowers in the spring and a gorgeous display of yellow leaves in the fall--what more could you ask for?
If you've been successful growing pomegranates outside of California (and worldwide) leave a comment letting us know where you live. I'm curious about the range of this tree.
