The Pomegranate is well suited for Bonsai with delicate branches and attractive foliage. The trees can live for several hundred years, to be handed down the generations.
I have had my older plants out in pots for the last few winters here in the East Angela, Cambridgeshire UK - not bothered given them any protection and they suffered no problems whatsoever.

Seedlings I keep in the greenhouse over winter just to be on the safe side. The reason they are surprisingly hardy is probably due to their woody stems - once the leaves drop off in the autumn, you are just left with "sticks" that appear completely dead but obviously deep inside the protection of the wood the plant is fine - and new buds will start appearing in early spring.

Mature plants like full sun in a sheltered spot, especially if you want to get fruit - whether in pots or direct in the ground. I have mine on a patio, up against a south acing wall.

Germination Guide
  • Soak the seeds in water for one day
  • Prepare a seed tray filled with moist (but not wet) seed compost, lightly firmed down
  • Ideally a well draining mix of 50% sieved compost and 50% vermiculite or horticultural sand
  • Sow seeds circa 1.5cm deep evenly space and gently cover
  • Keep surface moist but not wet - best to water from the bottom by having seeds tray inside a waterproof container.
  • Keep at room temperature in a light place but out of direct sunlight
  • Seedlings should appear in around 30 days.
  • Pot on to individual pots once large enough to handle
  • Give some protection over winter when young
TOP TIP! Don't use all your seeds in the same tray just in case rot sets in.


Olly's General Guide to Seed Sowing!

I love sowing seeds and it runs in the family - dad, granddad and finally my great-granddad for whom the hobby helped him get over his experiences in the Great War. I still get a big kick when I see the first seedling poking through from a new plant that I have never sown before or been successful at. However, even the most experienced gardeners draw "blanks" from time to time. Whilst I sow all the seeds that I sell so I know that they are viable, some are trickier than others and problems can arise so here are some tips to make "blanks" few and far between:

1 ) Dont Rush! Tempting though it is when that packet arrives in the post to simply bung the seeds in some compost!

2) Google and Youtube are your friends! Take some time so see the methods other people use to germinate the seed.

3) Think Nature! What conditions do seeds face? For example a seed from a tropical plant will fall to the warm, wet and dark jungle floor. A seed from the mountains of Europe will fall to the floor in Autumn, then have to endure months of freezing temperatures before germinating in the spring. So as growers, what we are trying to do is to simulate the conditions that the seeds will naturally experience and there are plenty of tricks that can be done to short cut the processes somewhat.

4) Good compost pays dividends . The best investment you can make is to purchase three bags - one of potting compost, one of vermiculite and one of horticultural sand. With these three bags I can make up whatever soil type a particular seed likes (although for most seeds I find a 50/50 mix of compost and vermiculite works just fine)

5) Rot is your enemy . The single biggest danger to seed germination is rot - either before or after "damping off" the seeds germinate. To reduce the risk, ensure you have good free draining soil mix and that it is moist but not wet. Unless the seed variety absolutely requires it I prefer NOT to cover my seeds trays with plastic bags, Whilst germination is often faster this way, it greatly increases the risk of rot. I prefer to place my seed trans inside a watertight plastic tray and water from the bottom - airflow over the surface reduces the risk.
