Pomegranate Tree -- some questions
Comments (14)I usually just repost these links when someone asked about hard pomegranates... There are a few of us trialing the hardier Russian/Iranian/Turkmenistan poms in zones around 6/7. There are some good threads about it if you google around for 'zone 6b pomegranates'. There are lots of sources now for hardier pomegranates: Search for 'pomegranate' in their search... and find their Russian (prob called Russian#8/Salavatski): http://ediblelandscaping.com/buyPlants.php Green Sea Farms in Florida has so many to list, but have to call and order from Cindy: http://www.localharvest.org/green-sea-farms-M36650 (There are other Florida nurseries starting to offer, but I've dealt with Cindy and Rolling River, and OneGreenWorld and can def recommend them). Rolling River (Kaj-acik-anor, Salavatski (Russian#8), Sumbar, Surh-anor, and some others): http://www.rollingrivernursery.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=37 'Favorite' variety: http://www.onegreenworld.com//index.php?cPath=1_53 Chestnut Hill Farms (Salavatski, Surh-anor): http://www.chestnuthilltreefarm.com/Flowering-Trees-Eastern-Redbud-21285.Item.html%2526q%253Dhttp:/Pomegranates-3934.Category.html Depends how many you want to try/experiment with, but Salavatski seems to be standard so far as far as availability, hardiness, and people got it fruiting. and Kazake super hardy but not as available, and maybe Surh-anor as ones def heard fruiting in zone 6-7 area. If you can just for a lil more protection too, protect it against the house facing South/sun. Alot of those Russians varieties survived one night freezes of 0f to -6F in Byron, Georgia....See MoreQuestions about pomegranate tree

If you want to controll them, look up ants natural predators, and encourage them in your yard. That definitely makes sense. flora_uk, the link you included about ants & peonies seems to be broken or something. calistoga wrote: neptune24 it is really hard to respond to your post when you give no clue as to where you are gardening. What is your zone? I'm in 7B, GA. Ants live in the ground and are a part of nature, I leave alone unless I can see they are a problem to what ever I am growing. If your tree has scale or aphids the ants may be contributing to their spread by moving them around. Ants are easily controlled with a boric acid bait. Al Thanks. My tree doesn't seem to have any other problems, so maybe I don't need to worry about the ants?...See Morepomegranate - about 6 yrs old no fruit
Comments (1)Do you have a close-up photo of the flowers on the non-fruiting plant? Only the simple, single, somewhat fleshy blooms reliably make fruit; other plants with more complex blooms are ornamentals....See MoreQuestions about Dwarf Pomegranate Tree.
Comments (1)I wouldn't fret about it too much. After a week or two, cut the watering to 2x per week....See Morewinsorw
