pomegranate - blossoms/fruit falling off
Comments (3)I had the same experience with my pomegranate, it is second year and all the flowers just fell off. One of friend was about to take out his pomogranate having the falling off issue for 4 yrs, then some one told him that it is natural for some pomogranate trees to shed flowers/baby fruits in the initial years, so he kept it and this year it has more than 30 fruits....See MorePomegranate--No fruit!
Comments (3)I have the same problem. I planted my pomegranate three years ago. I got ONE fruit in the first year. Then second year nothing,third year nothing! Even very little blooming. Mine definitely not too happy. The leaves are yellowish. It is under the full sun with regular watering. Wei...See Morewhite pomegranate - wonderful
Comments (5)I had my first good pomegranate harvest this year from three potted plants, and really dealt with the ripening question, since color and size are really not enough to go by. I had never heard of the metallic sound, lazygardens, but I just went and tried it on the last fruit still hanging on the plant, and I think it works! After some research, I found these other ways to tell ripeness: -- squarish shape of fruit -- calyx beginning to curve back in on itself -- very tough, hard skin not easily marked with fingernail -- splitting (this is the final sign of ripeness, and these fruits will not keep well) By the way, plant cultural differences must really impact pomegranate quality. For example, my 'wonderful' pomegranates came out vastly different from the commercial fruit I tried the other day. The latter were very juicy, very staining, the arils dark and almost stingingly acidic (with substantial sweetness too), and the seeds very hard. My own had pinkish arils with non-staining juice, softer seeds, and a milder sweeter taste. I probably could not use mine for juice, but for fresh eating, I am very happy with them. Good luck...See MorePomegranates in SoCal no fruit
Comments (3)Do you know for sure you have fruiting pomegranates? There are many non-fruiting, ornamental varieties that are very popular here, perhaps you have a couple of these? If not, what fruiting varieties do you have? It can take 2 to 3 years for poms to fruit. You should fertilize 3 times a year with the same fertilizer you use for your citrus trees for the first couple of years as they get established. Then once in the spring, and mulch well with compost. I tend to mix in a wee bit of chicken compost (which you can get by the bag at Lowe's) along with my regular compost. I have them on drips. Patty S.
