I grew up with a pomegranate tree in my yard and it was like a big bush tree and produced more pomegranates than our family could ever eat. No care or watering.
That’s great. It’s so hot where I am and my soil is so sandy, I have to supplement water. I wish I didn’t have to!
Well, let me be the first to congratulate you on hitting the 1k subscriber mark because it’s coming within the next few hours 😂. Next, those were some great tips on planting pomegranate trees! I have two, an Angel Red and a Wonderful. They grow SO FAST when planted correctly. Thank you for sharing and stay blessed!

Thanks Calvin! So close...
How do you like your Angel Red? I'm looking to plant another variety, and I'd like it to be something that complements the Wonderful, either by having a different flavor or a different harvest time.
@@TheFruitGrove I just bought it from Lowe’s last Fall and it’s in a pot right now. I’ll be putting in the ground in a couple weeks. I’ve heard that the flavor is much better than the Wonderful. I’m using it as a cross pollinator so I’ll be able to tell you more soon. It’s great for Texas and it has a soft edible seed.
“My soil is sand”….🏃🏾me instantly checking to see if you’re in Florida…. We Floridians feel your pain lol. ☮️ 🧡 🪴
lol I'm inland in TX so I have no idea why there's so much sand here. But better that than clay!
I’ve got the lovely clay and summer triple digits of central TX on the cusp of 8A/B. We planted the Eversweet (3 yrs in ground) and Parfianka (2 yrs in ground). They grow well, get the occasional flower but no fruit. I amended the soil when planted, give them a monthly dose of diluted fish emulsion, and are on a drip irrigation system. Any other ideas?
Buy another tree
Hi that’s a great video. Can you tell me the brand name of the water bag please.
This is the one I bought (affiliate link): amzn.to/45EPQLC
The brand is "Finnhomy" - they've lasted me 5 years and going strong
I have an established pomegranate. Is there a schedule I should be fertilizing on? If that's going to be covered in another video, I can wait to find out! Thanks!
Yes, I'll get to that in another video! The short answer is...it depends. On soil type, rainfall, pH, drainage, etc. My soil is super sandy (I think I mentioned that in the video), so I'm anticipating having to fertilize a couple times per season. But in general pomegranates don't need much fertilizer if the soil is relatively fertile.
@@TheFruitGrove yeah that makes sense. I have very sandy soil here in FL too, of course. I'll be looking for info in future videos!
any tips on getting it to set fruit. mine always fall away
My first guess would be that it's a watering issue...they need consistent watering or they'll drop fruit
Sorry to many people forget the Pacific Northwest rainy and cold . So you need to tell the truth most pomegranates don't grow well anyways in the United states.
Totally depends on climate and variety. They grow well in warmer climates. You're right that they don't tend to like colder areas.
There one type "cold sturdy"
I can find it in Internet
You said "need a lot of sun"
But your pomegranates looks ok without sun at all.
Also, the spot where you planted the tree doesn't look like "completely sand", but normal black soil.
So, what are you talking about 🤔
