Thanks! You give me great confidence in how adaptable and easy pomegranate trees are to grow!. And if I DO need to move one in future, I now know how and know to do it in winter if possible. Much appreciated!
I especially appreciate the explanation of why it is not necessary to dig a wide hole if you know you have adequate drainage, and the reason for and method of compacting the soil correctly. Your voice is pleasant, I'm glad you did not put music in the background (so annoying and distracting!) and that you used time-lapse when necessary.
could you have split the root ball in half to have made two trees? I did the same thing, mine is to close to the drive way and I will have to move it come winter this year. Thanks to your video it's on my to do list this year. I planted to many things along the drive way and they are to close together.
Thanks for awesome info. I was given a very small pomegranate plant. Didn’t know what to do with it so stuck it raised bed with other two plants. It’s getting big after more than a year so I want to transplant to permanent site, but my yard gets very wet. Can I did a large hole, add some coir, eat and build up a big hill to plant it in?
Mound won't work if the soil under doesn't drain the water. Pomegranate roots will eventually grow past any mound you build over the soil. I have a drainage video where I explain this in detail. Check it out.
Thanks so much for your great video. I live in southern California and figured the best time to transplant was during the winter. I planted my 4 pomegranates five years ago between a fence and a row of peach trees thinking I could keep the poms pruned along the fence as espaliers. That was fine in theory but because the peach trees were so close the pomegranates they did not get enough sun and the pom fruit tended to be small. I also had a rat problem. The rats had the run of the fence to access the fruit and eat it before I could. I want to transplant them to a more open area and prune them to be more like a tree. My big concern was killing them if I did not get enough of the root system. Your video gave me all that I need to know. I now know how hardy pomegranates are. Given reasonable care I should be fine since I am transplanting them when they are dormant. We also had a ton of rain in the past few weeks so the plants are well watered and the soil is soft and pliable. I am subscribing to your channel since you guys seem to know what you are doing. Thanks again for the information you shared.
This is a follow up to my post a few months ago. I dug up all 4 pomegranate trees. It was a real chore since their roots are tough and the plants were pretty big. The thicker roots had be be cut to get the plant out of the ground. I would have thought this would kill the tree but after watching the video I was pretty confident they would be okay. I dug up 2 by myself and the other 2 with a helper. I am a pretty vigorous 63 yr old so this can be done by a senior guy in reasonably good shape. Two were planted within a few days and the other two were out of the ground for over a week with the roots kept damp. I planted and watered them and was amazed that within two weeks the leaf buds were showing growth on all the trees. The ones that were out of the ground the longest had some small leaves when I planted them and those leaves dried up and I feared the plant was doomed. No way! New growth soon appeared and they are all doing great. So, this is to let everyone know that these plants are REALLY hardy and so long as you provide reasonable care and transplant them when they are dormant (winter) these rugged plants will do fine.
Transplant in the winter or early spring when all the leaves are off and before the new leaves start to appear in the spring. This would be the best time. Frankly, these plants are so rugged they will probably survive no matter when you dig them up but the best time is when they are dormant. It is less stressful on the shrub.
I know this is two years old but I'll try asking a question anyway. Do you think it's possible to move an 80 year old-or so - pomegranate tree? I've got a pomegranate that is probably 80 years old. A couple years ago i chopped it way back because it was so overgrown and the fruit was bad quality. I stopped short of chopping it all the way down and it grows back like a weed and the fruit is much better. Plus you can actually reach out without getting stabbed by the tree. It's just in the part of my yard that would be best as a main backyard hangout/bbq area. Thanks!
I transplanted my pomegranate in the summer, but after watching your video, I worry that it won't survive due to not doing it in the wintertime. Do you have any advice to help my tree survive?
I wonder if this transplant succeeded 🤔 I want to transplant one. I love pomegranates and I really want my transplant to succeed. Any feedback will be appreciated

Great video. Lots of knowledge no babbling. Excellent.

Looks beautiful, good job!!

Really appreciate all the information you shared here ! So helpful! Thank you !!
Thank you this is very helpful! I have to transplant my pomegranate tree this winter.
Hi... did you transplant your pomegranate?
And if you did, did it survive?
Great video, very helpful thanks very much! 👍👍

I need to know this too!!
GREAT VIDEO! You packed in so much great information. Thank you !
Awesome info! Thank you!

Do you have an update on how your transplated trees are doing?
I have a video coming out soon

@@gregginlahabra3112 I think you can grow almost anything in Cali :) I'm not sure if it's too late to try it in Dallas now.
Very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you so much
Good information .
When’s the best time for transplant ? I just took some of the roots of a pomegranate tree and planted them
Transplant in the winter or early spring when all the leaves are off and before the new leaves start to appear in the spring. This would be the best time. Frankly, these plants are so rugged they will probably survive no matter when you dig them up but the best time is when they are dormant. It is less stressful on the shrub.

yes you can but it will take the tree a few years to recover. Make sure to do it during dormancy and prune it back.
@@qctropicals thanks for the reply. Cool

prune, shade, don't let dry
Thank you! @@qctropicals

I want to transplant one. I love pomegranates and I really want my transplant to succeed.
Any feedback will be appreciated
I have several videos featuring these transplanted pomegranates, just type in "pomegranate" in the search on my channel.
@@qctropicals Thank you 😊
How old is that tree?
He said 3.5 yrs
