Pruning/Growing Pomegranates in CONTAINERS 

I live on 6b/7a and I got the Sirenevyi hoping to try outside. I can't wait to see how your fruit turns out. Hopefully this year! Yes please more pom vids. No one is promoting these varieties in our climate in any helpful way. I especially would like to see you cover all your varieties in more detail. I know it will be easier once you are able to start tasting🤤

I live under Rosses back porch.

so, i have a wonderful I want to keep short enough to bring inside. Will i always be cutting off wood that would fruit? I am in Zone 7. May try this year to wrap one up and try to overwinter outdoors, while keeping my mother plant for new cuttings if it does not make it.

They want to be a fountain! The fruit grows primarily on the ends. Preserve them! My grandmas got to be 20 plus feet tall. 50 years old-! It was held up by its own dead branches. Maybe 8 feet in diameter- it was a dense forest down below. The fruit would arch the branches down and across the yard close to the ground!

Do they like their soil drying out before watering?

Update

Can you share what containers you like best? I have a lime & lemon tree that I’m having trouble finding large light-weight pots.

Pomegranates are my favorite fruit, unfortunately the only ones I can get are the sweet/tart Wonderful variety at the store. Hopefully you can get them to fruit and taste test. And from the limited videos that I've watched on pomegranates, they tend to prune them into single trunk trees that branch out like your fig trees.

Interesting. I had no idea there were so many different varieties! I own around 3 pomegranates that I purchased this year. Bought one online then found two at a local nursery that were different varieties. I kind of bought them thinking, "Well, maybe they're just slightly different and I'll pick the one I like the most." Now I'm curious to learn more about them!

Great collection of pomegranates Ross. I have adopted 4 pomegranate tree from family and friends. The types are unknown. Hopefully i will be able to ID them some day. All 4 are in ground and ranging from 2 years to 6 years. I picked a lot of fruit this year. However i felt two trees put out smaller fruit than last year. I didn't use any fertilize. Except that i used miracle grow at the beginning of the season. So here is my million dollar question: 1- how often to fertilize them and what sort of products to use? 2- how often to water them? I have a drop irrigation that Waters them ever day for 10 mins with 1g/m emitter. I live in Sacramento. Dry and hot summer.

i have a gaint Russian pom, I would love if you did some more pom vids,,,i know, one more thing

Did you consider seed hardness when you made your choices or sweetness?

Move to a zone 9. Figs and Poms grow like crazy around here. Best to grow trees that's appropriate for your growing zone. Your trees will thrive without too much input from you.

Do pomegranates need sunlight during winter or may I put them in garage or shed for winter? I'm in Pennsylvania south central 17362. I have. small pomegranate I purchased this year (Russian Pariki) TiA for any help/suggestions

What is the dimensions of the pot I should be using for the Russian pomegranates?

I think I'm going to get 2-3 poms in the spring. It's a little too cold (6B) to try them in the ground, so I'll just keep them in big pots. Thinking Salavatski, Parfianka and maybe Lyubimy. Have you tried propagating any pomegranates?

Do you use 10 gallon buckets for ALL your fruit trees? What kind of amended soils do you put in the bucket to get the tree to grow? What’s the name of your Dormant Oil Spray you’ve used on your trees? Can you recommend a good variety? I’ve always wanted to grow pomegranate trees. I thought they’d appreciate the Freezing Cold temps. They grow so abundantly in japan. I’ve seen them everywhere, almost every house had a pomegranate tree on their property. I live in Zone 6B, what variety would you recommend/❓

At last....he came out of the fig trance

Good video Ross,growing pomegrantes in the north seems like too much effort to me ,you cant fool mother nature that much,we do good with figs but pomergranates ,i dont know.

I have pomegranates in pots as well but they get root bound very quickly how and when do you transplant them to a bigger pot? Any root pruning? Thanks.

what is your take on chill hours for pomegranate plants? Do you believe they need a few days of chilly weather inorder to set flowers and fruits?

What soil mix did u use or do they like?

How are your trees doing now? I’m in nj 7a and have a 6 year old multistem Russian pomegranate that I’m obsessed with. It’s been beating fruit for two seasons. I think I need that Salavotski you mentioned.

Any fertilizer u use for it?

Too much talk.
