Pomegranate in North Central NC
Comments (15)Swapna, yes, some guavas grow here, but not true ones. But they can be grown as (big) houseplants. Pineapple guavas are hardy here. There are lots of pomegranates that grow & fruit here. Just go by the zone listed and you'll be fine. They take a few years to get established before they will fruit successfully but you'll likely see blooms before that as they can bloom all summer but really only set viable fruit on the first blooms (which sometimes gets frozen). Nana is the one exception, since the fruits are small it'll set as late as midsummer. But they are SOUR! :)...See MoreEfficacy of Pomegranate Peel Against Aphids, Thrips and Spider Mites
Comments (0)Abstract: "Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) fruit peel (PFPAE) aqueous extract was evaluated for the possible control of common sucking pests of roses viz., aphids (Macrosiphum roseiformis Davis), thrips (Scirthothrips dorsalis Hood) and two-spotted spider mites (Tetranychus urticae Koch). Toxicity bioassays were done with both leaf dip and potted plant treatment and compared with positive control (imidacloprid and spiromesifen). Toxicity bioassays revealed that the mortality was either directly proportional to the concentration or to the exposure time of treatment. At 48 hr exposure time, the mortality at maximum (1x PFPAE) concentration was ranging from ~ 80–90%. Food choice assays indicated that rose leaves treated with PFPAE exhibited high repellent effect on spider mites, thrips and aphids, where the preference was observed to range from 66–80% on control leaves as compared to 5–13% found on the treated leaves at 180 min after exposure."

Comments (6)@ken_adrian Adrian MI cold Z5 I won't be planting until late September. I am not a big fan of adding heavy organic content into a planting hole. That would result in a "bathtub effect" with a highly moisture-retentive organic mix potentially under the water table of the surrounding soil, exposing the roots to too much water. I think a purist doing an in-ground planting would say to get a soil test, then amend with just the minimal amount of organic material needed to correct any organic matter deficiency in the native soil. Since extremely fertile soil normally does not have more than 10% organic matter, that would be absolutely minimal amendment in the worst case. My situation is different, with an enormous mass of soil sitting above the ground level, and guaranteed to be above the water table, because I am using a very high raised bed behind a retaining wall. I, therefore, have the opportunity to create something more like container soil, rich in organic matter, that will never become a water trap and death sentence for the roots. I know some people do not like to create huge soil layer changes from organic to clay, on the thought that the roots may not want to penetrate into the deeper soil layers. This particular species/hybrid is not a very large plant, if you even want to believe that trees do not deal with changing soil layers all the time in nature. If you go to a place like Texas, in many places like Austin the top two feet of soil are organic matter, followed by three or four feet of heavy clay, followed by rock very near the surface. I think nature deals with such situations all the time, and trees are smarter than people when navigating such issues....See Moreediblelandscaping.sc
