- I planted a Surh-Anor and Parfianka Pomegranate last week and in this video demonstrate how to train them to grow as a tree instead of a bush. I also show what happens when you prune your pomegranate bushes and that the Wonderful grows on first year growth.
I love your approach to the chillin' moth. I feel the same way about what others call pests.
I agree, they tend to balance each other out. People get so tied up on seeing one insect and think it is going to dominate all of their fruit. Thanks for watching.
@@flackfruit You are most welcome!
My take on bugs is that there is no such thing as a pest. If you have a bad bug, you do not have a pest infestation, you have a duck deficiency! (Ducks eat bugs.) So, if you have a problem, just search out what your "duck" is.)
awesome video! keep up
Thanks, will do!
What zone are you
Very informative video; thanks. How are they doing?
So good in terms of growth and fruit. The Wonderful has given us over 100 fruit and they are sweet and tart. We wait until the split before we pick them that way we have a better chance of eating ripe pomegranates. I will be making another video soon with an update. Thanks!
i planted a wonderful from costco 3 months ago. They r full of leaves and flowers but then none of them are female. Is that normal?
They don't need a pollinator, so they should be good. But if you planted them this spring then I would not let fruit grow on them until at least next year. Give it time to root properly to support the fruit.
What is the freezing temperature below which it should be protected from? I’m in zone 7b, Raleigh area. My wonderful pomegranate tree is 3 years old and is no where as bushy as yours. 😢
My understanding is they do better in dry climates, if they get too much water it tends to stifle their growth and fruiting. Which is the opposite for Muscadines, I am trying them here and they do not want to grow well, but the Pomegranates are like weeds here. Also, make sure the soil is sandy so the water can drain, the roots of Pom expand well in sand not in composted soil IMO.
You can plant your cuttings make a few more trees that look like a wasp in your tree
Sounds like fun.
I got a pomegranate plant in my new property. It has a large number of red ripened fruit on it but the fruit is tasteless. Not sweet at all. Can you please suggest anything to make it sweet??
Thanks
Yes, I would do a light fertilizer when the flowers turn to fruit. Make sure you are watering enough. I have heard (but not tried) that if you water it consistently and then deprive it of water two weeks before harvesting the fruit swells and tastes better. But I have not had issues with mine. Hope that helps.
What zone are you in?
8b, but that doesn't make too much of a difference except for freezing temps, a good amount of trees dont survive our 115 degrees in the summer, but just north of me is still zone 8b and in the summer their max temp is 100 in the summer. Pomegranates love the heat.
