This is what the pomegranate bush looks like in Laguna this time of year. It is starting to break dormancy and will fill in flush in a couple weeks. Pomegranates will be ready to eat in the fall. I have tried and tried to prune it into a tree, but it insists on being a shrub!
I had a small pomegranate bush in my previous house. I love the bright red flowers! The fruits are keeping falling off prematurely. I think probably it is still too small. I started one from a seed from store-bought fruit in my new house. Looking forward to having another lovely popegranate bush... Yours looked so beautifully (I checked out one of your old posts)!
ReplyDeleteI have flowering pomegranate bushes. I think they are the cultivar called Legrelle. They have beautiful orange and white blossoms in spring, no fruits.
ReplyDeleteI attended a class on backyard fruit, and the very knowledgeable instructor actually advised growing pomegranates as a bush. Much easier to pick, was her opinion.
