Absolutely stunning; plant. Those bright red flowers against the green foliage is really nice. I hope those female flowers appear for you soon and you get plenty of fruit.
Wow, what an incredible display! Don't think I've seen that many flowers on a pomegranate at once before. Hopefully, you get some more female flowers 🤞
Amazing bloom! That's way more on one tree than I have on all five of mine. Then again, I'm growing mine in containers and pomegranates aren't known for doing so well in south Florida.
@@raregrowsNJ Wonderful and Red Angel started fruiting in one year (4th year now). Medovyi, Salvatski, and Parfianka are on their 2nd year. All took a long time to wake up and hasn't flowered yet. My newest that I got last Oct is a Vietnamese variety that flowered already but didn't set fruit yet. All in containers.
@@user-su5du9ln8r I wonder if the Vietnamese variety is the same pom that I tried while in Vietnam. The climate is very hot and humid there, might be a good one for Florida? Interesting that the potted poms take long to wake up, my rooted cuttings that defoliated once I put them outside were very slow compared to the outdoor tree. I have a Wonderful seedling in a pot which is now leafing out as well.
@@raregrowsNJ The Russian varieties arrived as bare roots. I believe they came from up north. The Medovyi just started leafing out 2-3 weeks ago. I kept doing the scratch test because I thought it was dead. Poms don't go fully dormant down here so I don't think that will be a problem henceforth. The two American(?) varieties do produce large fruit but if I don't spray them, develop black patches that will eventually get into the arils. I took a chance on the Russian varieties fruiting in the heat and humidity of south Florida. As insurance, I got the Vietnamese variety that are known to do well here. Apparently, the fruit is small, isn't gourmet quality and the seeds are hard but fairly trouble free. How was the one you ate in Vietnam?
@@user-su5du9ln8r that sounds about right for the Vietnamese, it was OK, a little bit insipid. The Russian types are better flavor wise for sure (if they taste like Afganski), but the Vietnamese is def useful if it can grow where others can't. I can imagine planting out the seeds or crossing with another variety might improve it
What an awesome display of flowers 🤩
I hope you get to enjoy a decent harvest 🙌🏾
