Grow Zones: 7,8,9,10,11,12
How to Care for Punica granatum Pomegranate Fruit Shrubs
Pomegranate shrubs grow best in loamy soils with excellent drainage. Adding a thin layer of mulch is recommended. Plant in an area that gets a full 6 hours of sun a day. Chalk, loam, peat, sand--any of these or a combination of them will be a suitable growing medium.
If potting, plant with a high quality lightweight soil and add slow-release fertilizer. Pomegranate shrubs need adequate amounts of nitrogen to grow strong.
Pro tip: Spraying a solution of water mixed with calcium onto the foliage prevents pomegranate fruits from cracking. This has been found to be very effective. Some also add a bit of boron to the solution as well.
Germination Procedure: Soak seeds in water for 24 hours. Cold/moist stratify the seeds in the freezer for 2 months before sowing to simulate a short winter increases the germination rate. Otherwise, soak the seeds before planting mid-winter for spring sprouting. Sow seeds at 1/4 of an inch depth without burying the seeds in the dark (they require some sunlight to germinate). Ideal germinating temperatures are 70-80 degrees. Germination time: 30-40 days
