Planting & Care

Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil for your pomegranate seedling. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and plant at the same depth as it was growing in the nursery pot. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.

Once established, pomegranates are relatively low-maintenance. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Prune in late winter to remove dead or crossing branches and to shape the plant. In cooler zones, grow in a container and move indoors or to a protected area during winter. Fertilize lightly in spring with a balanced fertilizer.
