In reply to Derek. The tree will often drop fruit to self-thin. Hopefully you'll still have some fruit to enjoy.

My tree is 10 years old. I pruned it way down about 3 years ago, this is the first year after that to have blossoms and fruit is starting to show. However just recently a lot of the young fruit fell to the ground, is that normal?

In reply to Yolanda. If that is a change from previous years it may be an issue with watering or insect damage. If the outside of the fruit is brown and mottled that could be a sign of insects.

For the last few years our pomegrante seeds are clear and not red and they are also fairly small. What is wrong?

In reply to Doug Larsen. Ha! I'm grateful every day I married him. Best of luck with your tree, and tell Heidi hello!

I’m planting a Pink stein Pomegranate in Clovis, CA so I google some information. Fun to see your post come up first. Tell Jeff he married way above his head!

Thank you for your article. Sensible and informative. I have, with my partner, purchased 3 hectares of virgin land in Romania. Transylvania province in the central plains south of Cluj. I have many hopes and plans. I would love to plant pomegranates. Now I think I can. The growing season there is getting hotter. I caught the reference to a wall or south facing slope to increase heat. I will work the land to include that. I thank you for the condensed listing of best varieties. I am excited. I will be growing organically and we will be applying to have the land registered for organic growing.

Thanks again.

David

In reply to Iris. I've had some sunburned fruit as well, especially if it gets damaged a bit by insects or birds and then begins to rot.

Thanks for this great article! I have three trees and the fruit on two of them have been rotting for the last few years. It seems to me like they are getting sunburned. Is that possible? The rotting shows up on the skin and almost looks like it is melting off. It is also black inside so maybe that is just heart rot. Do you have experience with sunburned fruit?

In reply to Phyllis Greenberg. Check with a local nursery to see how they do in your area.

how do you prune pomegranate for size? do they bear fruit on new wood or previous year’s wood? As this would determine how to prune right? Don’t want to prune and loose all of next years fruit.

In reply to Gina.

Keep branches away from houses, fences, etc. I have also seen rat traps https://amzn.to/2Yo0Hek attached to the lower trunks of trees.

Any suggestions for keeping the critters out of my tree? Last year the pack rats got all our pomegranates.
