I grow Salavatski and Kazai successfully in my yard. I just got the Salavatski to bear this summer. However in western Pa it gets colder than us here. So I'm not sure how well it will grow for him.

Bass, where did you find your trees? My western nurseries don't seem to stock them.

I will have them available by spring.

Bass, how old are the pomegranate trees when they begin to bear for you? Did you have to take any special winter precautions? How about growing in containers and bringing them into the garage in winter -- how large a container would be necessary?

Thanks,
Mary

I would also like to know more about growing pomegranets in zone 6b, where do you buy these hardy ones and do you have to plant them against a wall? Kathy

Here's the pomegranates that I picked from my in ground pomegranate tree. It's called Salavatski. It normally bears larger fruit, but since the tree is still small they didn't get very large. The deep red seeds are very sweet, The seeds are not very soft, but cold hardy varieties of pomegranates seem to all a harder seed. It's still soft enough and chewable and didn't bother me at all.

It was only 3 years in the ground when it started bearing.

Here it is planted near the wall along with a fig tree.

Bass, those are beautiful trees, thanks for posting! In the past I never thought I could grow pomegranate or fig here, but now I'm considering it.

Where can i buy "Entekhabi Saveh" (Iranian Pomegranate) tree ?
