Planting & Care

Select a location with six to eight hours of direct sunlight and prepare a planting hole twice the width of the root ball. Loosen the roots gently before positioning the tree, backfill carefully to eliminate air pockets, and water thoroughly. Apply 2–3 inches of mulch around the base to retain moisture. Water regularly during the growing season while avoiding waterlogged soil, and prune lightly to maintain shape. Cross-pollinating with another pomegranate variety increases fruit production even further.
