Pomegranates survived 0F covered
Comments (56)Well, here is an update from my post on March 20, 2009, above. The "Russian Hardy" poms (2) did fine coming through the winter of 2008-09. They leafed out beautifully from top to bottom... then a late freeze down to around 27 as I recall came in and - killed them back to the ground. Pretty annoying since it was clearly all about the timing of it. They survived fine down to 8 degrees back in November, but got killed to the ground at 27 during leaf bud. Well, same the same story may be unfolding this year, we'll have to see. The scoop this year was we got down to around 5 or six degrees, they looked to have buds on all the regrowth just fine, and then this year they were just starting to bud in a few places - and, we only got down to 32. All the new leaves are dead. It will be a little while before I can tell if the branches are done in to the ground like last year. Its hard to complain, I'm trying to grow them out of their normal zones (6b in the 1990 USDA hardiness zone map). But, it is annoying they can survive the hard winter freezes only to have trouble with light spring freezes at the wrong time. Argh! ;)...See MoreToo Late to Trim Pomegranate Tree?
Comments (0)Is it Too Late to Trim Pomegranate Tree? It's now appx 4.5- 5.5 ft. tall. I planted 2 yrs ago and it looked almost like a bare root rose. Last year it had 4 blossoms which fell off before maturing and this winter we had a bad freeze and I thought it may not make it; but it seems to have made a good recovery. It has a few dead branches that I didn't remove but the rest of the tree is good. I have 6-8 flowers that have made it to the next stage but I notice that there is quite a few sprouts starting and I wondered if I should cut them off? I don't know the difference "suckers vs. new limbs?" Most look like nubs starting of the major trunk. I don't want branches that low but I don't want to harm the tree since it looks like I might get a couple of fruit this year plus it has a center branch that really has taken off, growth wise. Should I leave the nubby's on until after fruit is gone? or will it help the tree/fruit to grow stronger to cut those off now? The avg. temp here now is ranging 90-98+ And I've been watering alot due to the heat but maybe I shouldn't? Any help or advise would be appreciated, THANKS IN ADVANCE...See MorePomegranate??
Comments (6)I am in the first year of growing pomegranates, have about 25 plants and 15 different varieties. Most of the poms are planted as a 200 foot hedge. 12 of the varieties came from the University of Florida as part of a research program to try and find a commercially viable type for Florida. I am growing: Afganski Azadi Desertnyi Gissarskii Rozovyi Grenada Nikitski ranni Parfyanka Sakerdze Salavatski Shirin Zigar Sin-Pepe Vkusnyi Vietnam (big yellow) Wonderful Russian #8 I have had almost zero insect problems and they have not been sprayed, the only pest so far has been deer and I think they are mostly just curious. Some of the types are growing great, some ok and a couple look sad. If any of the varieties croak I will replace them with the Vietnam as I have extra....See MoreMy first Pomegranate fruit
Comments (6)I planted Angel Red last year, it still has all it's leaves but did not flower nor fruit. One that was planted at our local school garden flowered AND has fruit the same year it was planted! Go figure!! I planted a Sherwood Jujube last year. Recommended all over the place last year as THE Jujube to plant in humidity. Now I see this year they are saying it is better in sandy soils and drought (which I find hard to believe, since mine hasn't much enjoyed any drought). It has lost it's leaves, and it did flower nicely but no fruit this year. I'm wondering if I will ever get fruit. It's a very lovely tree, so it's no biggie if it doesn't fruit (narrow weeping habbit, bright yellow fall color) - but I'm completely fruitless this year :) Good for you getting a Pom!...See MoreKevin Reilly
