Hi all ok a week ago I um Well I smuggles some wild Pamagranit fruits from california .... I cant help it ive done it for yrs and there SOOOO goooood...

well i read last night where Laaz has a Baggy method of Growing from seed so i called a few kids over ( its rainy today and those little ones get Bored) anyway we cleaned fruit and seeds and are tryig the Baggy Method ..

I need more advice if Any one can help like when should i transplant the plants ?

and um how long should i leave them in the Bag or will they even grow this way .Tammy

The pomegranate can be propagated easily by either hardwood or softwood cuttings, or root suckers can be dug from the base of the plant and transplanted. It is also possible to increase them by layering, budding or grafting. Pomegranates also grow easily from seed, but by this method the resulting tree will be ALWAYS ALWAYS of inferior quality. -Millet

Ok Inferior as in weaker then the mother plant ?

hmmm OK back to cali maybe i can get about 20 Grafts LOL ..the trees are on the highway in Y reaka Just after leaving .. there hard not to spot since my fav stop is Grannys Kitchen ..you order pancakes and you get a cartoon figure last time i got santa clause lol in feb its a heart or cupid .. i try and get to that area at least 3 times a yr to see what else they are doing the lady who owns the resteraunt just inherited it and is keeping the tradition of her mother and grandmother .. its a great place Books Galore for children ..small petting zoo on the side of the building chickens rabbits a couple of turtles .. if any of you get a chance to get to y reaka Id visit this reasteraunt its a blast even for us older people..

Our local Lowes has quite a few just in. Never tried them... With all my citrus I don't know if I have room for them. How large do these trees get ? Spacing ?

the wild Mother trees in cali are 8-10 foot tall and about 6 ft around ..

always loaded and full of ants but really good fruit...

i think someone must of just threw out a rotten one and poof there up and growing im almost 40 and as a kid i never seen them as a teen either its by an old Gas station where they sold Fruit when it closed so possible im riht ..

If i get some to grow your welcome too some i think we planted 3 fruits full of seeds and are really hoping each little one gets 5 or as many as there parents will allow them to have but i think over 200 seeds just in case some dont grow ...

my african grey absolutly loves Pamagranits more then the other 5 parrots here do so there for her .. and me LOL Tammy

Westwood, by inferior I mean the quality and taste of the FRUIT, and not the tree itself. The taste and quality of the fruit from seedling trees are inferior to grafted, budded, rooted, or air layered trees. Laaz, get the tree. As Westwood said, they do not grow very big, even when mature. The flowers are a birght awesome- awesome red color and shaped like a trumpet. The fruit is a greenish/tan color and than turns red when mature. Looks like Christmas ornaments hanging from the tree. In your yard it would be a show piece. The kids next door might sneek over and pick them LOL. The variety Nana is the dwarf. Look and see if your store is selling the standard or the Nana variety. - Millet

growing them from seeds is good if you like the tree...if you want good fruit growing from seeds is a waste of time.....they are easy from cuttings....Laaz they are very nice trees....i have 2 that i use to propagate from that load up with fruit every year...1 in full sun...1 in shaded area

SO does that mean when you guys get some Root stalk or cuttings going Um you will share ? cound me in Laaz says there is a orange she would recommend for me here in oregon i live on the coast its not ever above 70 and never below 30 so its an ok climate id have to have them in my green house to stop then from drowning in the rain though lol my banans do well out side all yr round ..Tammy


PS Laaz Im off to the otehr thread i need to apologise and explane what i was feelng It really wasnt ment twards you just the government Tammy

WOW just 8 days ago me and a few little Ones started seeds now 100 seeds have germinated in one baggy.. the medium wet one i tried 3 different bags one wetter then the other 2 one dryer and 1 about med ...

used the same seeds we cleaned and same soil just different dampness ..

Goes to show me how finicky things can be .. LOL tammy

Well I planted 5 seeds in the same pot a few days ago and so far 2 of them have come up. Figured I would just see how they come out. Can't find anyone close that has any for me to check out. I have found that I much prefer to see the tree I'm going to get rather that order them.
I'll post a pic tommorrow. How are yours doing now? Any pic's?

Thanks

O.K. here is the picture. Sorry, kind of forgot. Sill only the 2 came up. Just gave them some fertilizer.






Here is a pic of the Honeydew Melon planted about the same time.





They are both in the bottom of my Ponkan pot. I needed some room in the "greenhouse" area of my kitchen floor to start the other seeds (Key Lime, Meyer lemon and the other is either Eureka or Libson lemon and an assortment of different exotic flowers, trees and shrubs ).

Eventually, the Ponkan and the Cara Cara will go outside, but for now they are happy inside and so am I, as I still have those CREATURES (psyllid)
on my Valencia. So far I only have a few of them left, but I know that can change rapidly, like the way they initially appeared.


Anyways, those are the new babies. Hope they grow very tasty, only time will tell.

Well, I only have one now. My son decided to disassemble one of them and then came to tell me he could not fix it. So there you have it the sole survivor, the one that is in the middle of the pot.

wow nice mione didnt get that Far .. the kids plants they took home are doing absolutly wonderfull and mine all died ?

Now what did i do wrong ? I think i spoiled them i misted them instead of letting them soak up the water from the bottom ( i think) there for im probably wrong LOL Tammy

I have a spray bottle that has ONLY had water in it. I use it to grow all of my seedlings. The seelings and seedlings to be are all sprayed with the water, have not had a problem, so I don't know what happened to yours. I usually give the about 4-5 sprays to the whole plant and if the soil needs more water than that, then I spray water on the soil only. Just give it another go. By the way in that pot I planted 6 seeds and only the 2 came up, of course there is only one now and hopefully my son won't feel the need to take that one apart too.

Thanks and good luck.
