Liked your video. One should scratch the outside of the root ball so that you don't get circling roots. That way the roots spread out better. In the worst case, a circling root may choke the plant.
Well, let me be the first to congratulate you on hitting the 1k subscriber mark because it’s coming within the next few hours 😂. Next, those were some great tips on planting pomegranate trees! I have two, an Angel Red and a Wonderful. They grow SO FAST when planted correctly. Thank you for sharing and stay blessed! -Calvin
Thanks Calvin! So close... How do you like your Angel Red? I'm looking to plant another variety, and I'd like it to be something that complements the Wonderful, either by having a different flavor or a different harvest time.
@@TheFruitGrove I just bought it from Lowe’s last Fall and it’s in a pot right now. I’ll be putting in the ground in a couple weeks. I’ve heard that the flavor is much better than the Wonderful. I’m using it as a cross pollinator so I’ll be able to tell you more soon. It’s great for Texas and it has a soft edible seed.
Hi! Your video is very informative. Thank you! How many feet away from the fence did you plant it? I have the same young Wonderful tree I bought from Stark Bros, and I'm not sure how far from the fence should I plant it.
Thanks! It's probably 4-5 feet away from the fence. I wouldn't plant it any closer unless you want to share a lot of pomegranates with your neighbors! I also like being able to walk all the way around the tree without too much trouble.
I’ve got the lovely clay and summer triple digits of central TX on the cusp of 8A/B. We planted the Eversweet (3 yrs in ground) and Parfianka (2 yrs in ground). They grow well, get the occasional flower but no fruit. I amended the soil when planted, give them a monthly dose of diluted fish emulsion, and are on a drip irrigation system. Any other ideas?
Hm. It sounds like you're doing everything right. Do you prune? Perhaps try thinning some of the shoots this winter. Maybe pull back on the fertilizer - or if it's near a lawn that gets fertilized. Too much nitrogen will make it grow a lot but may keep it from flowering as much. Is the soil drainage ok, or does the soil stay soggy for a long time after it rains?
I have an established pomegranate. Is there a schedule I should be fertilizing on? If that's going to be covered in another video, I can wait to find out! Thanks!
Yes, I'll get to that in another video! The short answer is...it depends. On soil type, rainfall, pH, drainage, etc. My soil is super sandy (I think I mentioned that in the video), so I'm anticipating having to fertilize a couple times per season. But in general pomegranates don't need much fertilizer if the soil is relatively fertile.
I grew up with a pomegranate tree in my yard and it was like a big bush tree and produced more pomegranates than our family could ever eat. No care or watering.
Sorry to many people forget the Pacific Northwest rainy and cold . So you need to tell the truth most pomegranates don't grow well anyways in the United states.
You said "need a lot of sun" But your pomegranates looks ok without sun at all. Also, the spot where you planted the tree doesn't look like "completely sand", but normal black soil. So, what are you talking about 🤔
I filmed this during a brief window where a large pine was shading the tree so you could see my face in the video. This tree gets about 6-7 hours of direct sun per day. Also I have mulched on top of the sandy soil, to help retain moisture and improve the soil over time.

Thank you Dianna!
I grow apples in Africa, UGANDA I want to try out pomegranate next year
Wow that grew a lot!❤
Yes it did! Still going strong.
Very well explained. Thankyou.
Glad it was helpful!
Hpw old was that tree when you planted it and you did so great explaining everything
Thank you - I'm not sure how old it was, but I would guess about a year.

@TheFruitGrove thank you!!
Hi that’s a great video. Can you tell me the brand name of the water bag please.
This is the one I bought (affiliate link): amzn.to/45EPQLC
The brand is "Finnhomy" - they've lasted me 5 years and going strong

Buy another tree

@@TheFruitGrove yeah that makes sense. I have very sandy soil here in FL too, of course. I'll be looking for info in future videos!
“My soil is sand”….🏃🏾me instantly checking to see if you’re in Florida…. We Floridians feel your pain lol. ☮️ 🧡 🪴
lol I'm inland in TX so I have no idea why there's so much sand here. But better that than clay!

That’s great. It’s so hot where I am and my soil is so sandy, I have to supplement water. I wish I didn’t have to!
any tips on getting it to set fruit. mine always fall away
My first guess would be that it's a watering issue...they need consistent watering or they'll drop fruit
excellent video however you forgot the most important tip you must talk to the plant.
lol yes!
Sorry to many people forget the Pacific Northwest rainy and cold . So you need to tell the truth most pomegranates don't grow well anyways in the United states.
Totally depends on climate and variety. They grow well in warmer climates. You're right that they don't tend to like colder areas.
There one type "cold sturdy"
I can find it in Internet
You said "need a lot of sun"
But your pomegranates looks ok without sun at all.
Also, the spot where you planted the tree doesn't look like "completely sand", but normal black soil.
So, what are you talking about 🤔
