Container Friendly?
Pomegranates grow well in large containers. Use a well-drained potting mix and keep watered through the growing season.
Watering
Water consistently in spring and early summer. Reduce from late summer. Container plants need more frequent watering and must not dry out.

No strict chilling requirement. Deciduous in colder areas; semi-evergreen in mild climates.
Pollination Info
Self-fertile. A single tree will produce fruit without a pollinating partner.
Planting & Care Guide
Plant in full sun in well-drained soil. Pomegranates dislike wet feet but are remarkably drought-tolerant once established.
Feed monthly with pelletised manure from September to February. Preventative spraying for false codling moth and fruit fly is recommended where these pests are active.
Water consistently through spring and early summer for better yields; reduce watering from late summer but avoid severe drought. Container plants must never dry out completely.
