My family and I are known as the Pomegranate People because we've been growing them ever since I was a little one. In fact, the first thing I ever grew on my own was a pomegranate tree at age four. Now these fruits are more popular than ever, and buying the bottled juice at the shops isn't very cheap. This is one method of juicing pomegranates at home, then planting the leftover seeds in order to grow more of the fruit.
The best time to start the growing process is at the end of winter to the beginning of spring.

A while back you mentioned playing the protégé and gleaning lots of useful information from me. Well, Friend Girl, there's been a turnabout.
Years ago, I bought a Wonderful pomegranate and kept and planted the seed. I had lots of pomegranate bushes. I could have used them for a hedge row, as I understand is often done in California.
Pomegranates do well in North Carolina, too. I remember being enamored by a lovely Lumbee Indian. When I went to see her, I would ask her mother, 'I've forgotten.
And of course, I chuckled (under my breath) when she replied, 'They're pump grannies'.
I kept my bushes for at least ten years. They grew well and always looked nice and healthy. Just this last year, I dug them all up and threw them away. Not one bore fruit in all those years. I pray thee, do tell, what did I do wrong?
Yours is a beautiful bush, tree, no less. Yes!
Mum n I are shocked they did not give fruit! Did they give little flowers? Nothing? Usually within two years they bloom like mad.
About 3 feet and never a bloom. Did you fertilize yours a lot?
No fertilization. We water ours very little about once every 10 days. Needs direct warmth!
Here in my place the majority of the pomegranates sold in the nurseries are decorative only and they are selected to be so. They have at the best very small fruits, sometimes purple, or red but completely white inside. The flowers are big double in size and coloured from deep red to red and white or pink. There is also a dwarf type for pot planting. If you want to have a pomegranate for its fruits you have to ask for a "fruit pomegranate" the others are called "flower pomegranate".
I have a pomegranate tree and its full every year. I have not been able to tell when they are ripe. How long do they grow before picking or is there a set time. They arrange in all sizes and colors, the meat inside is white. I have gotten a few and juiced them but have not tried the planting of seeds... That will be something to try this year.
I have a pomegranate tree and the first year I had it produced like crazy and always has. My question is the fruit is white not red and not as sweet. This year not sure what will happen, we had a freeze and of course froze back. I am waiting to trim it just in case. I love my pomegranates and thanks for the advice on juicing them, I was having a hard time getting that done.
