Punica granatum, commonly known as the Pomegranate. The pomegranate is a small deciduous tree or shrub with narrow, elongated leaves, trumpet-shaped red flowers, and traditional large round red fruits. Pomegranate needs a warm, sunny and airy place throughout the growing season. On hot and dry summer days, pomegranate trees in small replacements should be protected from the extreme afternoon sun. On the other hand, we also need to protect them from frost. A frost-free cold store with a temperature between 0 and 10 ° C is an ideal place in winter. Watering is monitored by monitoring the condition of the planting medium, when the soil begins to dry out then watering abundant rules. When the flowrs open and in summertime it needs more water than usual. In winter, keep the soil slightly moist and water only moderately. If possible, avoid watering with lime water. Pruning is best done during the winter dormancy period when the leaves are not present. During the growing season, the new shoots are cut back when they reach approximately 10-15 cm. If you want flowers to develop on it, don’t cut back the shoots before flowering because the flower buds grow best at the apex. When keeping it as a bonsai, we must also make sure that it does not develop too much fruit on it, because the risk of the tree weakening greatly increases.
