Dwarf Pomegranate - Punica granatum

The Dwarf Pomegranate (Punica granatum) loves warm, tropical climates and makes a great houseplant.

• Average mature height: 10 feet 
• Container growing? Yes. Prune pomegranates as a bush with 3 to 6 main trunks and top them off to keep the height manageable.
• Fertilizer: Nitrogen/Phosphorus/Potassium in a 3/1/6 ratio
• Light: Full sun is ideal, but pomegranates will be fine in mostly sunny conditions too.
• Soil: Pomegranates adapt to most well-drained soils. They can grow in nutritionally poor soil but they do best in loamy soil.
• Zones: Perennial 7-10 (Pomegranates love warm, tropical climates but can take some cold without getting severely injured.)

Plant size. These ship in plug size pots when they are 2.5-6 inches tall so they can grow to maturity under your green thumb.
