How to choose a Pomegranate Tree.

Pomegranate Trees are not that common in the UK. They used both for their fruits and as ornamental trees. Different species have different qualities, some pomegranates are very bitter, others are sweet. Pomegranate trees are long lived and will grow to 5-6m depending on conditions.

Growing Pomegranates is not difficult given the right climate. A sunny warm position is best. A deep humus rich loamy soil is best. In the UK it might be best to grow your pomegranate tree in a conservatory, although we have seen them in sunny protected positions.

Pomegranates prefer temperate areas through to sub tropical. Frosts can be a problem. In cooler areas pomegranates are semi - deciduous.

Pomegranate Trees are really drought tolerant, however like most fruit trees they need adequate water to ensure a good crop of fruit.

Pomegranate Tree Cultivars (Punica granatum) suitable for the UK include:

Gulosha Rosavaya and Gulosha Azerbaijani, these are sweeter than many other cultivars.
