Zone 7A - Greater Philadelphia - Jak na to + styl
I'm glad to see the Pomegranate is finally flowering! I planted a Srvennnayi (misspelled, it means "super early" in Turkish or Russian or some other language I'm the reverse of fluent in). It's looking happy, but it's not as hardy as Salavatski according to Internet reports, so I'll find out if it can survive the Winter here west of Philly. If we could just always have mild Winters without late frosts forever, that would be good.
I put in Concord Seedless, Neptune (large green grape), and Somerset (small, strawberry flavored grapes). IThe first and last two have put out a ton of clusters in their second year, Neptune is in its first year. picked up some Muscat grapes from the local Hmart and would definitely like to add a variety like that. I'll have to look into Centennial.
Your Prok tree looks great! I remember it being tiny a couple years ago. My persimmon trees are in their second year. I've got two Fuyu types (Early Fuyu and IKKJ) they were about 4-5' at the start of the year. But a squirrel or some crazy fucking bird broke both trees in half a few weeks ago, so they're back to ~2" tall again. Attempting to graft the broken off halves didn't take. Some critters will die for that. The one had like fifteen female flowers on it. I planted some wild American persimmon seeds and grew out several to try using them as rootstock, so I may have to put in an American cultivar and an astringent Asian one. I'd never had a Saijo from the store when I ordered the Fuyu-type trees.
My American persimmon is 10” in diameter 40’ tall hard to get to and pick.
Nice to see that pomegranate growing nice
Noble & Sugargate Muscadines, Concord grapes, Nikitas Gift persimmon and Salavatski here in 7b VA.
2 of my 3 nikitas gifts are on their 2nd season in ground and their first growing season. I have given them half can of water a day and every non-nitrogen mineral you could think of: bone meal in the planting hole, wood ashes around the base just before winter, slow release nitrogen after bud break and a combo of minerals during the growing season, dolomite lime (light dusting), crushed up zinc and magnesium pills (1pill per tree each in the mulch bed) and some dilute epsom salt on the leaves. Both flowered and fruited (I pulled flowers until there was 1 flower per branch) and one of them has started a second growth spurt (uncommon for NG)
For the record they are in *very* full sun. The tree that has started its second growth is in the last spot that gets sunlight of an evening
I went with a Prok and a eureka
Got a Salavatski from Ison's nursery and it planted it over a month ago in 7a and it's just a stick, nothing happening. Will probably try again from a different nursery, just a flag for anyone considering Ison's. Planted a Prok from Stark bros' at the same time and that seems to be thriving.
One green world sells some good types
@@josephjude1290 Yeah, good selection there. I just ordered a replacement, though it says it ships in spring so looking like April to get this started again with a smaller tree.
Nothing wrong with Isons. You probably just got a dud. It happens.
@@RossRaddi Just reporting what happened. They do stand behind their plants up until July 1 of the planting year, but you have to fill out and email a form, take pictures, don't appear to get a credit/refund for shipping, and then have to call to use the credit (versus order online, and versus a refund). It's inconvenient enough that I debated even bothering, but I'm hoping they'll allow me to place an order for a direct replacement via email when I send the form/pictures.
Does anyone know what the R-35 pomegranate name is or how to get information on how to care for it? The person I purchased them for never sent me any information from but they said they would grow in my hardiness zone. They was going to give me info with my cuttings but never happened so if someone could help I would appreciate it thanks so much
I got my Pom cuttings from a pom bush on the side of the road.
Are your Prok and Celebrity ones you grafted a few years ago in videos?
I bought both from England's nursery in 2017. I believe that was Saijo and a couple others.
@@RossRaddi How was your success with grafting persimmons? I’ve had great success w everything, but persimmons.
Could you please spell the pomegranate tree you chose? I would like to give it a try. Thanks
Salavatski.
My pom has not produced after the first year
Not even a flower
Of course. Spurs need time to develope. Consider doing some summer pruning.
Be patient
Mine took 3 years
This is my first year with blooms and it makes more every day
Poms takes at least 3 yrs from planting before they even set any fruit. And 5-6 yrs before they start full production
I could swear we planted persimmons, but I've yet to find them😅. Pomegranate is now on the list.
Man come on.....4-500 on one persimmon tree. Okay I have it figured out. In addition to optimally ripened figs, SELL ME PERSIMMONS
The fig tree the grape tree and the pomegranate tree are all mentioned by the god Allah in the holy book of the muslims the koran and many more plants turns out islam loves plants and trees weird to know that
