I am one of those who love growing pomegranates and I have a good number of pomegranates and the rest of the American and black wonder beans. I hope to obtain them even if they are seeds.
Haha its just a genetic mutation (the white pomagrantes) it just lacks the red pigment its the same but it does seem way more exotic to eat it that way
Now that you mention it, I've never really payed attention to it. When the old branches start pushing new growth new branches, the flowers come out as well, but they are attached to the branches that went dormant the year prior.
I really want to know what variety of pomegranate that is in the thumbnail and at 2:25. I can't find it anywhere. I really love the unique look of the fruit. I would love to buy cuttings from you.
I think they are called Eversweet Pomegranate. I got it from my mom. Without a legit label or tag that comes with a tree from a nursery I won't know for sure what variety it is. I moved last year and everything I had planter was left behind.
@@Morteeus I never had one to compare it to, but I think having it like a tree allows more sunlight and ventilation to go through. I've seen bushes and nothing seems to grow in the inside. The hard part was keeping the rats away 😞
@aguileraproject271 oh i feel you bro But I meant that while it was still young right and you were morphing it into a tree (like cutting the lower branches) How much fruit was it giving I have one of my own but its still very young So i just wanted to ask to see how much fruit it will bear (its 5 years old )
@Morteeus the lower branches fromm the ground and trunk are a pain because they keep coming out multiple times a year every year. I'm not sure if it matters on the variety type, but once the roots get established, the tree will focus on the fruit. Just continue to let the top of the tree take off so it can get more sunlight and a bigger room system. It will eventually get to a point where the tree will focus more on giving fruit instead of growing out branches. It's a learning experience because I've had not so great results with other trees as I was experimenting/learning.
@Morteeus I don't remember the specifics, but I bought it in a 15gal pot. I think I only left one flower go to fruit so it focuses on growing for the first two years. From here, I left 3 or so branches take off while removing all fruit from the ones going up so the fruit wouldn't weigh them down. I did graft three other varieties once the branches were big enough. It took a while. I was pretty much in my back yard every day just doing stuff.
It is a very healthy tree. The leaves of my pomegranate tree have black spots starting from leaves in lower branches. Do you need to spray fungicide? How did you fertilize and water your tree since those fruits are big?
I don't spray anything on my tree because I don't want to harm beneficial insects and because some chemicals will build up in the soil over time. I've seen leaves not looking so good due to poor ventilation and poor sunlight due to overcrowding. As far as fertilizer, I like to use the liquid seaweed extract one and the Alaska fish fertilizer. So far they haven't burnt my trees. Just mix small amounts of the liquid into a 5 gal bucket with water to dilute the fertilizers so they go everywhere when you pour them.
thank you. Can you explain, beside tying down, whether do you also prune the tree? Do you prune only in winter? or do you also prune during summer to prevent it getting too large? is there a time that pruning will prevent flowering next season?
If I do prune during the season,it's just the tips or towards the end of the branches to keep certain branches from getting all the energy. For the most part, I leave pruning for the late winter about everything 2 years. Unless there is a branch I really don't want then I'll just cut it off all together regardless of the time of year. I usually don't prune during the summer on any tree. Specially heavy pruning. For the most part is because the tree needs to get energy to grow and store in the branches/roots for the winter. With little energy stored, burrowers have a higher chance of surviving and damaging the tree. And also the sun can burn the sides of some trees or even the tree trunk. This has never been an issue with pomegranate tree, but definitely on other trees. This is just from experience and trial and error. Other than that, just try things out and see how it goes. Trees tend to forgive.
With the fruiting part, the tree will find were to bloom. Old or new growth, I don't think it really matter, but I would have to check. My understanding is that if a tree doesn't give fruit, it can be for a variety of reasons. Too young, not enough energy, no nutrients or water, maybe just luck. But as long as the tree is in good shape and has given fruit before, the tree will find a way.
@@aguileraproject271 thank you. I have a 8 year old tree that did not bloom. I think it is due to wrong pruning during summer. I thought that flowering in pomegranate is easy. I am trying too find a way to keep the tree as small as possible (I have many other trees crowded together) without stopping the tree from flowering. this season I got 2 fruits. it is a healthy and very vigorous vegetatively looking tree. It has everything it needs but would nit cooperate. I will give it 1-2 more years before maybe starting a new.
@@ronendvir there's all kinds of variables that can contribute toward no fruits. A friend of mine would prune it so it looks like a hedge and it didn't produce many fruits and only the outside got sunlight. It also depends if it was store bought or if it was planted from seed. With seeds, who knows what results will happen based on the genes it received. This is why people tend to just graft a known good variety onto an unknown variety in order to get the desired well known variety that was grafted. This is something a buddy of mine and I did to his fig tree that gave nasty figs. We just added different varieties to it instead of starting all over again. I killed a few trees and whole branches while I was leaning to graft. Let me know if you make a TH-cam video so I can follow your adventures. Thanks bud.
The tree has 4 varieties. The mother tree is an unknown variety. One of the red ones is 'wonderful' pomegranate. The pink looking one I got as a cutting (I think it is 'eversweet' pomegranate. And I'm not sure on the yellow/white looking one.
How long did it take for your tree to fruit? My trees are about 2-3 yrs old and I have had a few flowers but they fell off and never became fruit. Any suggestions?
I bought this one in a 15 gal pot and it didn't take long for it to give fruit. Chances are, the tree is still young and it wants to focus on growing. If you have a big tree, then it should have given you fruit by now. Try grafting on to your tree from a fruit bearing tree. This should speed up the process. There's a ton of things that could be the cause of it like soil, nutrients, sunlight, water, the tree itself, who knows. Hope this helps.
They have seeds in them, but the seeds are easy to eat. There is one that I have that I do get rid of the seeds because they are too hard. But depending on the variety, the seeds are no problem.
@@hanibourbia8876 it gets tricky with seeds because some flowers might have gotten pollinated from a different variety, even though the fruit it came from looks like a specific variety. The new fruit tree might be similar or different than the fruit it came from which can change the taste, color, size, and so on. Kind of like all our brothers and sisters all came from the same "fruit", but we all are different.

Thanks for sharing your multigrafted pomegranate tree. It looks very healthy.
Eversweet pomegranate. Can be airlayered.

While it was still young and you tried to make it an actual tree and not a bush
How much fruit was it giving

Any updates on the tree?

Well still
Can you give us a quick video on showing how its doing?@@aguileraproject271

Indian pomegranate is best coletti

They have seeds in them, but the seeds are easy to eat. There is one that I have that I do get rid of the seeds because they are too hard. But depending on the variety, the seeds are no problem.
@@aguileraproject271 Thanks for your answer.
I planted 600 the second variety (Pink head), they told me that it has a hard seeds!!do you confirm??

Can u please send me cuttings of all varieties. I will pay u for postage and your help. I am in sumersett reno.

I would have to wait until the tree goes dormant in the winter. This way I'll know for sure the cuttings are good 100%.
