Planting Advice:
- For pomegranate trees grown in containers, you will need around a 45L (10 gallon) container.
- Set the root ball into the pot and fill in around the roots with the soil to the top of the container but not covering the trunk.
- Water the new tree in well and lightly tap the soil down to eliminate any air pockets and to settle it around the roots.
Aftercare Advice:
- Pomegranates are self-pollinating, so you only need one to set fruit and will bear fruit from their second year onwards if kept happy.
- They need full sun to reach their best so keep outside where possible and if inside place near a bright, sunny window.
- If growing your pomegranate outside, keep an eye on the weather report and if the temperature drops below 40 degrees F. (4 C.), move the plant indoors to a sunny position.
- Water the tree deeply about once a week, more often during peak summer months, especially container-grown plants.
- During the first two years of the tree’s growth, feed with a general-purpose fertiliser in November, February, and May, and thereafter in November and February.
- Prune out any crossing branches or shoots to three to five per branch after the tree’s first year.
- Prune out any dead or damaged limbs in the late winter.
- Prune out suckers to create a more tree-like appearance.
