- Pomegranates are overlooked as a backyard fruit tree but are a great choice if you are in a hot climate like Phoenix AZ 9B. They require little care and water, yet yield large amounts of juicy healthy fruit!
I love poms and have one in my yard too. Quick tip. Soak those arals in some cold water for few minute and shake the bowl and the skin should float to the top to be skimmed off. Enjoy!
Thanks--that method worked well this past season!
150?! Wow. Excellent. I just purchased on of these from the tractor supply in my hometown. It was $8. You got me excited with this video. Thanks.
Great job with your fruit trees and with the videos!!!
I absolutely love pomegranates! Thanks for sharing with us & happy growing!

I've a wonderful POM tree if bought from local nursery 2 years ago. I see couple of flowers each spring, but fruit doesn't set of them. I was told it's a self pollinating variety. Any tips on how to increase number of flowers and turning those flowers to fruit?
It can 1 year to as long as 3 years to produce. As long as it's getting consistent watering, the flowers should hold and you should get some fruit set next year. If its a problem with lack of natural pollinators you may want to try hand pollinating. It took 4 years for my pom to really start producing a decent crop.
I have two pomegranates, they have several years and they have never grown, besides the few fruits they give do not mature because they open and fall. I do not know what to do. I live in Surprise, Az. I also have a fig tree is green, I do not know what it's called, it gives a lot of fruit and even the honey comes out through the eye, but the birds are the problem, I buy nets and I cover it all. I make my fig marmelade and with a French Bride cheese, in its biscuit it is something delicious. That gift at Christmas, but I would like to contact you to buy some cuts because we are neighbors, I live near you. I have learned a lot from you, I thank you very much
Hi. For your pom, it can take 3-5 years for it to fruit heavy like in this video. On care, it is essential to tip-prune to encourage new branch tips as that's where the fruit sets. Also you'll need to feed it in Spring Summer and Winter (at a minimum) with a good fruit fertilizer. I like E.B. Stone Citrus & Fruit fertilizer. You can find it at Summerwinds nursery among other places. Also make sure you give your pom a steady supply of water during Spring and Summer and cut back in Fall and Winter to avoid fruit splitting. Also clear any hardscape 3 feet from the trunk and top dress with alfalfa/straw and wood chips/mulch to condition the soil and bring in worms if not already in place. Birds are after moisture, I have water fountains in my yard to provide them with an alternative to fruit and I cover my figs with organza bags (amazon carries them) to deter them. I don't find netting to be a good way to go as it can hurt birds and lizards by strangling them. I recommend you practice grafting or rooting cuttings from your existing fig tree to get in some practice before you invest in purchasing cuttings. There are many videos on grafting and rooting for you to learn from online (outside of this channel). Or you can always do what I did and buy some new fig trees from nurseries like Richard's in Phoenix to get started with new varieties beyond your Peter's Honey fig tree.
@@EnlightenmentGarden Absolutely I give you absolutely right. I have to learn with my fig tree first how to spread by cuts, I wanted to buy some of the ones you sell but, I stopped for that reason, I have to learn your technique well and have everything that I will need to be successful. Thank you very much for the information of the pomegrants, (granadas in Spanish), mine are dwarfs. They have not grown, but I'm going to pay more attention and good food por my trees . Thanks a lot.
Great video! I have learned so much watching your videos. Thank you. I just bought a Wonderful variety pomegranate tree and a fig tree. I noticed in both your videos you are using organza bags to protect the fruit. Can you please tell me what size bags you bought for the pomegranate as well as the fig trees? I checked online and they are sold in various sizes.
Thanks! You'll enjoy the fruit--so much better than in store fruit! For the poms, I use the larger size which is 8"x12"Organza Drawstring Pouches and for the figs, a 5" x 7" size. The larger size allows for gapping around the sides which seems to prevent attacks on the fruit by pests.
Great video as usual! I live in the Phoenix area as well (Mesa), would you please tell me if you don't mind, what your watering schedule for the winter is?Thank you very much....
Thanks! Great question. Poms have unique watering requirements. My tree is 4.5 years old so its roots have gone fairly deep by now. I water deeply every 2 weeks from Spring when I see the first leaves or buds break dormancy thru August by filling up the berm which is 3' wide using a garden hose full blast. From September up to Spring, I do not water at all. People tend to continue watering their poms in September thru November and that can cause the fruit to expand or grow and split before the fruit is ripe. People also have a tendency to water less in the Spring and more in the Summer; inconsistency can also cause the fruit to split. Now if you have a young plant (1.5 years or less), disregard what I said and water lightly in the Winter to keep the soil moist (depending on your soil drainage and the lows that could be once a week or twice a week); with good rains you might not have to water. Also water frequently to keep the soil moist throughout the year. The constant watering may cause fruit to split in late Summer/early Fall but the focus for the first year is best to be on rooting versus fruit production. Once established, these trees are pretty drought tolerant.
Thank you so much for your answer. Very interesting information and valuable! Would you mind reminding us, ( I believe you have mentioned it before in a video) the water schedule you use in general for most of your trees in the winter? I have been following your summer schedule : sprinklers a few minutes everyday and a good soak every 3 days if I am not mistaken, but what to do in the winter would be a great help! Thanks...
Many fruit trees are still pushing growth and even ripening fruit (citrus, figs) and others have defoliated (persimmon and peaches). The ones that are actively growing are getting watered 3-5 gallons depending on size once a week via drip. Once they also go dormant and our lows go to the 40s, I will drop that to twice a week because they will not need as much water at that point. When in the 30s, it will be once a month but if we get rains during this time, I may not need to water at all. That was the case last year. You just want to keep the soil slightly moist and not allow the soil to go dry especially if your trees are less than 3 years old. For tropicals like mangos, I will also give them a good soaking the night prior to an expected freeze; moist soil will tend to stay warmer than dry soil, so this will help it in freezing temperatures.
Thank you very much,It makes great sense. I really appreciate you spending the time to do this!....
Good morning would you please recommend a good time release fertilizer for my fig trees they're just starting to Leaf out and I thought it would be a good time to fertilize them thank you very much
Hi! I personally like and use E.B. Stone Citrus & Fruit Tree Food (7-3-3). When I can’t find it, I go with Dr Earth Organic Fruit Tree Fertilizer 5-5-2
Hi I have pomegranate from seed , I just found out the have flowers for the frost year ! How can I make the fruit not fall & mature
Congrats! Flowers are a good sign but there is no way to prevent fruit drop on a young tree. It's normal as a pom takes a few years to set roots and produce. Expect fruit year 3 and beyond by ensuring it gets plenty of water from April thru August and organic fruit fertilizer every 6 weeks during that time.
Hi, My Wonderful pomegranate tree I got from Lowes this spring has all its leaves turning yellow. Some are even falling off. Not sure if that is normal for this time of year or it is too early. Am I over watering? Now sure what I should do :(
Hi! Yellow leaves do indicate over watering. It's a little early for poms to defoliate. That usually happens in January when our lows drop. On a new pom plant, you can back off watering from September thru Winter. For a mature one (3+ years), you can cease watering all together during this time to prevent the fruit from splitting. Hope this helps.
Thanks for your reply! We are supposed to get tons of rain this week too. I hope the tree will be ok :( I will turn off the irrigation to the tree and randomly hand water it going forward till next spring. P.S. David, just told me its started raining here in Scottsdale.
Your tree should be just fine! Poms are pretty resilient. It should push new growth to replace the old in no time. Enjoy the rain!
Hi! I really want to get a pomegranate tree, but I have a lot of citrus trees and am nervous it will attract leaf footed bugs and they will ruin the citrus. Was that an issue for you?
I have quite a few citrus trees but have never had an issue with damage from leaf footed bugs. They really only go after the poms and are worst in Fall when the fruit is ripening. You can wipe them out by dusting the tree with Diatomaceous Earth (if rain is not in your forecast that day) though the bags also work well.
Enlightenment Garden Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.
