    Clearly described, exquisitely photographed In paradisiac settings by a beautiful and well informed plant enthusiast of a professional standard. This is a superb video of a mythical and exquisite fruit. Can't wait for more 👌❤️

    Magnificent Movie ! Gratitude for countless clear informations, poetically said, magically filmed, with perfect knowledge, in a divine light and images, with a goddess as a teacher. I feel understood about the deep spirit of My Pomegranate tree... which I love so much, and I thought I was the only one to be a mystical lover of trees.

      Thank you so much for your lovely charming comment. I really appreciate it 🥰 It warms my heart that you feel the same way about pomegranate trees!! They are such wonderful plants. My fruits are all ripe and beautiful now so I can really start enjoying them, they're so delicious. How old is your pomegranate? do you get many fruits? 🤗 Thanks again for your amazing and supportive words ❤

      I like them, but have a somewhat dissimilar view... They are beautiful if managed well, but the fruits are rarely good, and juicing is basically the only tolerable way to consume them, unless you have a really good tree, giving very red fleshy big sweet fruits, that can be eaten like candy. I know of only one in my village really good enough to bother with, and we have countless!
      Most of all I know them to break walls and houses, as the influx of foreign amateur gardeners in Spain after the tyranny fell, means that many were planted next to walls.
      I've sadly removed a whole row of old but suicidal pommes granates trying to break walls. All of the killed by sucklings.
      Almost as bad as figs. 🤷
      I have a big 40y+ old one that I hope I can transplant, that needs to come out of the wall of my house getting restored... 😢

      @@Ferenz111 Oh yes. Obviously depends on the wall construction, if you have a deep well drained wall of a meter thick concrete with spray on asphalt sealer, no worries, but for a smaller house, garden walls etc, definitely. Figs are called house destroyers around here. I've seen Pomme Granates get under a shallow concrete foundation, and tilt a whole block & mortar pump house the size of a two car garage.
      I have a hole bunch of old uprooted Pomme granates on my firewood pile, from dry stone wall restorations in my village. Luckily all of them were also very deformed and bushy with dead main trunks anyway. I regularly transplant young trees that noobs (mostly expats like myself) planted, away from their walls and buildings.
      I don't even build flower beds against walls of buildings, But regularly replace the with tiles or gravel, to really keep plants, moist and bugs from destroying the buildings.
      Planting anything close to houses are just a really really BAD idea. Pots and balcony trays are my recommendation for ornamental plants near houses.
      Where I have dry stone walls that tend to spawn weeds, I plant ornamental flowering succulent hanging vines on top, that suppresses weeds.

    En Iran on l'appelle anar (انار) et on en fait une sauce très utilisée dans les plats, c'est un peu comme du fruit compoté (robe anar, difficile à trouver en Europe). En Turquie également mais différente. En Arménie on fait du vin avec. Très facile à bouturer aussi, directement une branche en terre à la fin de l'hiver.

    I just bought two from a garden centre because they were almost dead, I thought that I could save them. Can I cut all the poor branches down, will that help or kill it ? Not much to lose.

    • @wildfidelia
      @wildfidelia  ปีที่แล้ว

      I also love rescuing plants in need 🥰 honestly cut it down to where it's alive, give it mulch and water and wait, that's the best you can do! To reassure you, I've seen a pomegranate tree literraly on the brink of death and they cut it back completely I thought it was dead but it's all grown back now and thriving 🙌🏻 never lose hope with plants 🤗

      That's fascinating, I've only tasted the sweet one but now you say that I actually found a wild pomegranate growing in the woods and it was sour, I thought it was unripe or a bad one but in fact it was probably the sour type!! Thanks so much for that info! And that dark sour syrup sounds delicious yum 😋 does it have a name in Lebanese ? 🤗

    • @wildfidelia
      @wildfidelia  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Haha I'll explain why : because they're not completely ripe yet and I didn't quite know what to expect but in the end they were very tasty, and not sour at all I promise 😉 the white colour of the unripe fruit was just a bit off putting at first haha!
      Honestly try them and you won't be disappointed!! And yes what a great plant Cneorum tricoccon, however I haven't found it around me yet, I will look for it and as soon as I find it I will do a video on it 😄👌🏻
