90 to 100 lbs of Pomegranates, Nearly Anywhere
Why Cold Hardy Red Pomegranate Bushes?
Delivering pomegranates up north and down south, the Red Pomegranate lives up to its name, thriving in frigid, tundra-like conditions down to 0 degrees. With the Red Pomegranate, you'll get delicious pomegranates nearly anywhere in the country. Plus, it's hassle-free, especially since it blooms later and avoids late freezes with ease.
This fruit plant is shipped as a multi-stem bush, but can be trained into a tree form with proper staking.
The Red Pomegranate provides reliable fruit harvests in both good and bad years. Far north states (growing zones 3 through 5) can plant their Poms in pots to bring indoors for the winter. Plus, it boasts one of the biggest harvests of any pomegranate variety. A mature plant can produce up to 90 to 100 pounds of fruit under good conditions. So, with very little space, you get plenty of fruit to eat, share, and juice. With organic pomegranates at $3.00 per pound, you'll have a highly lucrative landscape!
Unlike other Pom varieties, it's highly tolerant of disease and therefore resists funguses that plague other cultivars. Basically, you can plant it, forget it and pick it. It's a remarkably tough plant that also resists insects, disease, drought and fruit splitting.

Planting & Care
1. Planting: Pomegranates need full sun, 6 to 8 hours of sunlight daily, although they are quite adaptable to different soil types providing there is good drainage.
Once you've selected your location, dig a hole twice the size of the rootball and just as deep. Position the bush into the hole, backfill the soil, and then water the planting area well before spreading a 2 to 3-inch layer of mulch to help conserve moisture.
If you're planting in a container, select a pot that's about twice the width of your plant's shipped container and ensure it has drainage holes. Use organic soil, place your plant in its pot, and water to settle the roots.
Note: This product grows best in well-draining soil. When you receive your plant, you may notice small, white beads or rocks in the soil - this medium is added to increase drainage and keep your plant happy and healthy!
2. Watering: Pomegranates have a good tolerance to drought conditions but will perform best in somewhat moist soil. Typically, you should only water your plant once every 7 to 8 days but in the warmer seasons, you may need to provide a little more. If you're not sure when to water, check the soil about 2 to 3 inches down - if it's dry, it's time to water.
3. Pruning: Prune after the first full year of growth (and before the second growing season begins). Dead, undesirable or weak branches should be removed to direct nutrients to the proper areas of the plant. By shortening larger branches, you can encourage more flowering. Remove dead/damaged limbs from the potted pomegranate in late winter - suckers near the base can be removed at any time.
4. Fertilizing: During the second year of growth, apply 2 ounces of nitrogen in the spring and then an additional ounce each following year. When the plant is about five years old, apply 6 to 8 ounces of nitrogen in the late winter before leaves begin to emerge.
FAQs
How tall do dwarf pomegranate trees grow?
Are dwarf pomegranates edible?
How much fruit does a dwarf pomegranate tree produce?
Are dwarf pomegranates self-pollinating?
Dwarf pomegranates are self-fertile, but they’re not the best at pollinating themselves, so we recommend helping your plant out by hand pollinating. To do this, simply take a small paintbrush or cotton swab and go flower to flower, swirling gently in the center of the open flowers.
