Tips to Grow Pomegranate:

  1. Arrange good quality pomegranate nursery plant with a good quality of root ball.
  2. The soil should be slightly alkaline, sandy and well draining.
  3. Dig a hole twice the size of the rootball. Now place the rootball gently about 6 inches deep in the hole and cover it with the soil.
  4. Add plenty of organic well-rotted compost to your soil, as this will both improve drainage and also improve the quality of the soil.
  5. Pomegranate plants take 4-5 years to come into bearing. Harvesting of immature or over mature fruits affects the quality of the fruits. The fruits become ready for picking 120-130 days after fruit set.
