Description
The Punica Granatum is one of two species that makes up the genus Punica. Native to the Mediterranean and Asia, pomegranates have opposite, narrowly oblong shiny leaves and showy funnel shaped flowers available in a variety of colors. The flowers are followed by yellow leather-skinned fruits that are flushed with red. The pomegranate, a flowering, fruit-bearing tree, is easy to care for and requires ample sunlight. Although it is a fruit-bearing tree, it is NOT suggested to eat the fruits of this Pomegranate tree. When the plant outgrows its pot, it can be transplanted into the garden and could eventually grow into a 15-foot-tall tree.

This variety of Dwarf Pomegranate, Punica granatum 'nana', bears smaller fruit than its more common counterpart.

Care Information

 
Pruning Tips:
Prune back to one or two sets of leaves after branches are woody. For flowers, allow growth to extend unpruned until after flowering. For stronger foliage, cut the flowers off. If you plan on training your pomegranate tree, be very careful. The branches of the pomegranates are extremely brittle. When wire training, train the new shoots that are still green and flexible.

Fertilizing:
We recommend fertilizing your tree every month with a bonsai fertilizer. Time release granules are the easiest to use and can be added every season. Reduce the amount of fertilizer during the winter. Take care to not over-fertilize as this can cause your leaves to burn.

Lighting:
Place outside in full sun during the growing season. If placed indoors, find a well lit, cool position. During hot months, it is advised to place the tree beneath a shaded area to prevent burning of the leaves and roots.

Temperature Requirements:
Avoid cold weather; however the Pomegranate is still quite hardy. However, they will lose their leaves during the winter.

Watering Requirements:
Pomegranites require moderate watering. We recommend using a soft spray to soak the soil. Ensure that water penetrates not only the topsoil but also into the roots by checking that draining is occuring on the bottom of the pot.

Repotting:
You can repot in early spring, every 2-3 years, but this must be either a month before or after pruning to ensure that the plant sustains the least shock possible.

Indoor / Outdoor:
Pomegranites can be placed in both indoor and outdoor environments. During the winter, we recommend bringing the tree indoors to protect against frost damage.

30 Day Plant Policy

30 Day Plant Replacement:
We understand that not everyone has a green thumb, so if your prized tree doesn't agree with you within 30 days, we'll send one replacement tree to you for free. We'll even cover the shipping cost for getting that new plant to you, which means all you need to do is give us a call. :)

Unlike most other websites that only offer a 3-day or 7-day policy, we're giving you a whole month to ease your mind that you've got a second chance to make the tree thrive. Look for the seal on the product page that indicates the product qualifies for our 30 day replacement policy.

How it Works:
When you receive your plant, care for it as you would based on the enclosed care instructions. If things aren't looking that great, give us a ring and we'll try to troubleshoot the issue. If after our recommendations, it still doesn't look like the plant will make it, we'll go ahead and send you a new tree. Our hope is that the experience you've gained from the first tree will ensure that the second tree will live on happily. Of course, we'll always provide help and support for that one too.

Exclusions: (Select Plants only - Look for the Seal)
Unfortunately :( , there are some exclusions on this policy. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to continue to offer beautiful trees to everyone. Our 30 day policy applies to SELECT plants only. For other products and accessories, please refer to our general return policy.

In order to maintain our low prices on certain products, we must exclude Unique Trees, lucky bamboo event favors, and bonsai event favors from the 30 Day replacement policy. Corporate gifts are also excluded due to the additional discounts given on those orders.

Refunds & Store Credit: (requires notification within 7 Days)
Our 30 Day policy applies to a replacement tree ONLY. If you would like a refund or store credit, we must be notified within 7 DAYS of receiving your product. If a replacement tree is unavailable, a similar plant of equal value will be otherwise substituted. If no suitable substitution is available, store credit will be issued in the amount of the purchase price.
