I was just wondering the best way to winter my container pom. Should it be kept in full light like my citrus or ? Its just about lost all its leaves now... sad little sight... l;ooks like something left dead for years. but it was also like that when I got it... so I know they do come back!

I just really hope to keep the tree thriving, it put oit crazy growth since I had it and truly hoping to get fruit from it this next year. I dont know its age, but from the soil up, its about 3ft. Anyone know how big and what they need to fruit? Is there something I should be doing this winter, spring to ensure a fruit crop? I've heard they can be very very picky... so, I just dont know.

Either way, its a beautiful tree either way... just be geat to at least get a single pom from it

do poms need a cross pollinator for fruiting? I have no clue what variety it is, if its a seed started, grafted or cutting. So... I just cant look it up to see if it needs this or that.

ASny help is greatly apreciated... thanks

heres a pic of it... from early this summer.... since the pic was taken, it grew 12 shoots towards the top 12-18 inches each... look kinda funny as the tree is so bushy, and then theres these big branches. guessing it'll fill out next year... hopefully. from the pic, can you tell if any pruning is needed? there are 5 main trunks with leaves and branches going from the soil line up. Most pics I've seen are free of lower branches/leaves

I would trim that during late winter. It looks like one of those dwarf varieties. Regular pomegranates can grow really big, sometimes as tall as 20 ft in the tropics, we had one before. I have several ultra-dwarf pomegranates that I use as ornamentals to complement my roses. They also have ultra-tiny fruits and grow to only 2 ft high. The fruits are as big as rose hips and tasted similar only with more color. Anyway, I think they will bloom more if you let them be dormant during the winter. My ultra-dwarf poms blooms throughout the growing season.

I know the guy I got it from did say that it had grocery sized fruits. Thats one of the first things I asked him, I didn't want it if I didn't get fruit from it.

Guessing when I'm down towards his way next week, I should ask a few questions about it. Hoping he has his scale infestation taken care of so I can get a few citrus. I'm hoping to get a 5 gallon pink lemon... *fingers crossed*

I doubt that you have done anything wrong with you pomegranate. They many times lose their leaves in the winter. Your tree will again start to grow new foliage after a short rest. Pomegranates should be placed in the sunniest, warmest part of the yard or when in the house for the best fruit, although they will grow and flower in part shade. I have both a standard full size pomegranate tree and the dwarf tree in my greenhouse. They lose their leaves every winter. Just continue to give your tree good light. Millet
