Hello Elizabeth Cruz, Thank you so much for the compliment! :-) Charles

I'll let Isabelle know! :-) Charles

Hello M Uziklvr, I just noticed your comment.... sorry for my delay... Thank you so much for the compliment! I'll share your comments with Isabelle in the morning... She'll be happy to be recognized! :) The plant only needs to be sprayed once (1x)... and washes off very slowly. You can reapply as early as 4 months... Sooner for new growth that is unprotected during heat waves (upper 90's to 100's). Let me know if you have any other questions. Have a great week! :) Charles

Hello That_Guy89 x, Thank you so, so much for the compliment! :-) Termites and ants are not a problem to your healthy plants and trees-- I cannot say the same if they make it into your home! :-) If you research this further, you will learn that wood chips can in fact cure root rot disease by supporting more beneficial microorganisms that defeat root rot pathogens in the soil. Further, it is advisable to keep the mulch away from the trunks of any of your trees (up to a few inches to a few feet-- depending on tree size) to prevent the risk of stem rot. Sounds like you have the answer to your question-- neem oil Neem oil added to a 1-5 gallon container and applied as a soil drench is an organic and effective way of controlling ant and termite infestations for the short term. You may need to reapply every 3-6 weeks during spring-summer to keep the populations in check. However, if the issue is tolerable, I advise to keep them as they are part of the biology in your organic garden. Keep me posted on what you end up doing.... Charles :-)

Thank you Ξhτιshαm Η. Κhαπ! Thank's for following! :-)

Hello Zhengming Song, I wish that was my garden! :-) The owner of this home owns one of the largest lots in my community (with the best location & views too!) My garden has about 700 sq. feet of planting area supporting over 20+ fruit trees! Check this out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YH48mNDLhoc.html Charles :-)

Hello Hugo Gomez. Great suggestions, the pomegranate should be allowed to grow naturally as a multi trunk bush/ tree. For feeding, organic alternatives are superior to osmocote (which is a synthetic fertilizer). I'll go into this topic more in a future video lesson. I am happy to hear that you plant your trees without improving the soil... which in most cases will 50% added compost will result in a tree that sinks over the upcoming months as the compost disintegrates. I've revised future teaching to reflect the facts you stated above. Thank you for the feedback! Charles :-)

Hugo Gomez Hi I live in the IE and my backyard soil is all dirt and rocks. I actually live by rock Quarry. So do you think I would need to pre-soil ?

Hello whytedaises, Most experts will say that fruit trees do best when planted in-ground, with the exception of blueberries that perform best in containers. So, my vote it to plant your pomegranate in-ground. Also, it is not a bad time to plant as the days are getting shorter (even though we may get some more record hot days). And, pomegranates can tolerate heat better than most fruit trees! Keep me posted on your decision and pomegranate growing experience! Good luck!! Charles :-)

it is

loc phan, I am wondering, I have clay soil as well. I think I will have to dig even deeper and wider. I heard citrus tree roots are shallow though. ?

Hello Jeremy Thompson, The value of the product is greatest at the time of installation and while the plant is young and forming a canopy to shade those lower branches and trunk. However, the product has value in coating pruned and damaged surfaces from wood boring insects, plus repelling rodents that may gnaw and girdle the tree at any stage of the tree's life. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your interest! :) Charles

Hello Casey Gould, The product is for sale on Home Depot, Amazon, Sears, Walmart, EBay, Buy.com, Etsy, Arbico-Organics.... Here are some links: www.amazon.com/IV-Organic-Guard-Paint-Protection/dp/B01AQ15TX0 www.homedepot.com/p/3-5-oz-Tree-Guard-Paint-Protection-Against-Damaging-Sunburn-Insects-and-Rodents-IVO31s-White/206864861 To control ants, scale and aphids...there are organic products such as mineral oil and neem oil (neem is a miracle oil). However, it is best that if the ant, scale and aphid issue are minor to allow nature to its part and just wait for the predators in your garden (lady bugs and praying mantis) to keeps the "checks and balances" naturally. This is part of video 3 of 3 of "Saving The World With Your Home Garden" that I will be publishing in the upcoming week or two. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact me! :) Charles

p.s. try creating a script and practice beforehand to be able to use less "cuts" on the clips, that'd provide a much more enjoyable viewing!

Hello Leonel Cantu, Thank you so much for the compliment! Very much appreciated!!! :-) The videos have improved a lot since this one was developed. Thank you and Happy New Year! :-) Charles

Thank you for the constructive tips!!! :-) Check out our more recent plublicatoins.... Many of these issues got imporved upon in recent months. Thank you again!!! Charles

Adik Sarkissian Hello Adik! 🖐 Most pomegranates ripen starting September (early varieties) through November/ December (later varieties). So many factors effect the exact time they ripen from year to year: such as weather, such as when they started to bloom, fertilizing, etc, etc.... I hope this helps! Charles 🤩

Thank you so much Charles, I hope their will ripen soon, I was so worry, 🙏🏼

Hello Loc Phan, How old is your tree? This is a normal phenomenon to have no fruit the first year or two while the tree gets established. Also, be sure to feed your trees with an organic granular fertilizer 3x per year: Spring, Summer & Fall. Adding fertilizer right now, as it is in bloom can be a stress that further causes more flowers to fall. You can attempt a dilute organic fertilizer (that has a high middle number, phosphorus... of the 3 numbers on the fertilizer package). Also, most fruit trees produce way more flowers that it will support as fruit.... So there is a chance that you will still be enjoying fruit this year! :-) Keep me posted!! Charles :-)

Thank you Connie! Charles :-)
