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 MoreToo late to ship pomegranate & tree form or bush?
Comments (8)Its not too late to ship for me here, but I don't know how hot it gets down there this time of year. The main downsides are you don't want the plant to overheat on the way or get baked upon arrival. Pomegrantes are some of the most heat-tolerant plants so it may not even be a problem at all. Pomegranates naturally grow as bushes but can be turned into a tree by selecting only one of the stems as the main one - cut off the rest at ground level. Any size bush can be re-trained this way but don't chop out too much in any given year. I don't know what they mean on their site by tree form. By the way if you are serious about pomegranates I highly recommend RIchard Ashton's book The Incredible Pomegranate. I refer to it all the time. It is an e-book and I think it cost something like $7. It is a bit of a hodgepodge but wow, what a treasure trove of information! Scott Here is a link that might be useful: book...See MoreHelp! My pomegranate tree's leaves are turning yellow!
Comments (13)This is a good discussion. I also planted a new pomegranate tree about three weeks ago. Our zone here is 10 (San Diego). The pomegranate's leaves are starting to turn yellow. I wonder if this is the normal yellowing for a deciduous tree or if there are some pests involved. Here are some photos: It looks like there are clearly some ants. I am new to growing fruit trees, but have read that ants are sometimes a sign of other infestations and that ants can actually encourage other infestations. Any ideas about what are the little green/brown spheres that seem to interest the ants in the last photo? Any ideas or suggestions for optimizing the health of this tree?...See MorePlease advise with pomegranate tree, mold? fungus? Thanks
Comments (7)Try mixing 9 parts water to 1 part bleach and bush on the wound but not drip much. Wait a week and see what happens. repeat if it is working. Otherwise I have no idea what to do. I am going to use the above idea to tree peach treat borers and see what happens. Steve...See MoreThe Logician LLC
