Information about the pomegranate tree?

Pomegranate is a deciduous shrub or small tree and an evergreen tree in the tropics. The crown of the tree is naturally round in shape. The roots are yellowish brown. The growth is strong and easy to take root in the rhizosphere. The height of the tree can reach 5-7m, usually 3-4m, but the dwarf pomegranate is only about 1m or shorter. The trunk is grey-brown with knob-like protrusions.

There are many branches in the crown, and the young branches are ribbed and mostly square. Branchlets are flexible and not easily broken. The primary branches are staggered and opposite on the vigorously growing branchlets, with small spines. The length of the thorns is related to the variety and growth conditions. A prosperous tree has many thorns, while an old tree has fewer thorns. The color of the buds changes with the seasons, including purple, green and orange.

The leaves are opposite or clustered, long-lanceolate to oblong, or elliptical-lanceolate, 2-8cm long, 1-2cm wide, pointed at the top, shiny surface, and convex midrib on the back rise; have short petioles.

Growth habits

Born on mountains with an altitude of 300-1000 meters. It likes a warm and sunny environment, and is resistant to drought and cold. It is also tolerant of barrenness, waterlogging and shade. The soil requirements are not strict, but it is suitable for cultivation in sandy soil with good drainage. ?

Light and temperature are important conditions that affect the formation of flower buds. The growing period requires full sunlight, and the more sunlight there is, the more flowers will be more colorful. A leeward, sunny, dry environment is conducive to flower bud formation and flowering.

When there is insufficient light, only leaves will grow but no flowers will bloom, affecting the ornamental effect. The suitable growth temperature is 15-20°C, and the temperature in winter is lower than -18°C, otherwise it will suffer frost damage.
