How to Use Red Silk Pomegranate in the Landscape

You might even start a special collection of several dwarf varieties, like Desertnyi Pomegranate. What a nice garden feature to enjoy all growing season.

Use a pair flanking either side of your front door. Keep their lower limbs on, and run a low hedge along your property line.

Your friends will want to inspect the growing harvest each time they come over. Don't forget to enlist their help for food prep!

#ProPlantTips for Care

Grow Red Silk Pomegranate in full sunlight or partial shade. They need at least four hours of direct sunlight a day.

Provide well-drained soil that doesn't stay wet for long. If you see puddles that remain a long time after rain, create a raised bed or container to elevate the root system.

Apply mulch in a three-inch layer, spread to three feet around the canopy. Pull the mulch away from the trunk.

Although an established plant will tolerate periodic drought, giving even water during fruit production helps protect against split fruit. Apply a medium amount of water on a regular basis.

Grow Red Silk Pomegranate in pots or grow bags, if your winters are too cold for in-ground growing. They will still go dormant and may lose their leaves during this time.

In colder Zones, overwinter them in a cool, but bright space like an unheated sunroom. Don't let them freeze. During winter dormancy, water once a month at most, and ensure the excess water drains quickly.

In late winter, prune your Red Silk Pomegranate to open the canopy. Eliminate crossing branches and branches growing into the canopy.

Use slow-release organic fertilizer for fruiting plants. Follow both the timing schedule and application rates for best results.
