I have a pomegranate (redsilk) planted this spring. It grew quite well in a container. In our zone, if I leave it outside, it can go below 32 degree. I am thinking move the pomegranate to an indoor garage (unheated, but attached to heated home), when winter comes.

In your experience,

1. When should I move the plant to garage? (at certain temperature? or when at the leaves fall?)
2. Do I need to do some tricks to ease the sudden environment change? (partial day in garage?)
3. Should I have LED growing light for it? (to ease the light change)

Thank you in advance

In spring, it needs to be in a bright frost free situation as soon as it comes out of dormancy (this will likely happen before your average last frost date). If leaves are allowed to develop in the dark they will fry when you move it into the sun, unless you do it gradually.

I've found poms easy to grow this way, but the hard part is getting the fruit to ripen in time, unless you have a long hot growing season or a very early ripening variety.

Good luck!

Thank for advices.
