i was talking to the bloke who used to have my plot. he just used the greenhouse. He pointed out to me that he had put a pomegranate bush in the border but said he has never had any fruit off it. Do u think it is possible to get any fruit from it??

Dead or alive your going on the heap

Not a clue, but Woolworths had a pomegranate bush/tree for sale so I guess they must be suitable to grow here.Happy Gardening,

Not necessary, there are two kinds. One is an ornamental which doesn't fruit, just throws small red flowers which have an insignificant fruit on them.
The other is a tree which allows the fruit to mature - I have a chum locally with a pomegranate tree in her garden and we get loads of fruit off it each year - but it takes a good while to mature and it needs a lot of good hot sun for extended periods.
Come on Shirl, Woolworths? It's like a few years ago when B&Q were following their contract with a certain television gardener and selling date palms by the bucket load at inflated prices because he said it was the thing to buy and plant - an awful lot of refunds under the plant guarantee the following year!TonyF, Dordogne 24220Comment

i last year i planted some seeds out of a pomergranate i brought from the market, they grew about 10 inches tall in the first year and looked healthy things, there just about to start budding now. i think these particular ones were from turkey (i wonder if they will be ok in the uk?), i have about ten and dont really know what to do with them?.
thort i'd share this with you all.. cheers wayneComment
