Find helpful answers about growing mixed pomegranate seeds, fruit production, and seedling characteristics.
Pomegranate seedlings can show natural variation in fruit size, skin color, aril color, sweetness, and acidity. The actual characteristics depend on the parent plants and pollination. However, a mixed seed packet does not guarantee specific fruit colors or flavors.
Seed-grown pomegranate plants generally take several years to develop into productive fruit-bearing plants. The time varies with seedling genetics, climate, sunlight, and care. Plants grown from seeds may also produce fruits that differ from those of their parent plants.
Yes. Pomegranate flowers are generally self-pollinating, so a single established plant can produce fruit without another pomegranate tree nearby. Bees and other pollinating insects can help improve pollination and fruit set.
