Growing Information
Light Requirements

Soil Preferences
- Thrives in well-drained, loamy or sandy soil with a pH of 5.5-7.0.
- Ensure soil is not too heavy, as pomegranates prefer slightly dry, well-aerated soil.
Planting Tips
- Pre-soak Seeds: Soak seeds for 24 hours in warm water to enhance germination.
- Planting Depth: Sow seeds ½ inch deep in moist, well-draining soil.
- Germination Time: Expect 2-4 weeks for seeds to sprout in warm conditions (around 70°F / 21°C).
- Spacing: Plant trees 12-15 feet apart to allow for ample growth and air circulation.
Watering Tips
- Keep soil moist but not soggy, especially during germination and early growth.
- Once established, water the tree once per week, allowing soil to dry slightly between waterings.
- Avoid overwatering, as pomegranates are drought-tolerant once established.

- Can tolerate mild frost but requires a long, hot growing season to fully mature.
Global Growing Zones
