Pomegranate

Plant Description

Pomegranates are deciduous shrubs or trees. Ornamental cultivars produce large, showy flowers and produce mostly inedible fruit. Fruit bearing cultivars tend to be less showy and produce edible fruit of varying size. Both types can either be self-pollinated or cross-pollinated. They require only a short chilling period and are sensitive to frost in fall and spring.

Cultural Tips

Cultural practices such as site selection, soil preparation, planting, pruning, and watering are important for plant health, pest management and pest reduction when growing pomegranate.
