Hi I know that there are some growers in the forum.   Each year my poms flower a little but give me no fruit.  I live outside of Tampa.  Hot and humid in the summer  but nice the rest of the year.  Any help or ideas would be appreciated.  Tks. Joyce

There was a forum member named Willis/Bamboo Rabbit that was trialing a bunch of pomegranates in Florida. He isn't here anymore (or at GW either I think) but maybe someone can PM you his email so you can get info.

Just Fruits and Exotics have varieties of pomegranates that perform in Florida...

Try contacting Cindy Weinstein (greenseafarms@yahoo.com) at Green Sea Farms.  They are part of the Florida Pomegranate Association which is trialing the best pomegranates for Florida.  They have almost 50 varieties available @ $15 /tree in 1 gallon containers.  Their availability list is attached.

You will find Wills and many other former members at the new fig forum listed below.

thanks for the nice information    joyce

You could have attended a meeting last week and learned a lot, I'm sure! http://www.eventbrite.com/e/fpa-2015-growers-meeting-tickets-14976661598

Hi Joyce, I have about 15 different varieties of Poms.  They will do well for you.  Mine fruited for me last year.  I'm located in Charlotte, NC and puzzled while yours did not.  Poms are new to me just like Jujubes.   I'm still learning.  I like to experiment and give my plants different liquid plant food.  What I've found is they like that stuff a lot.  Contact our forum member, Bass.  He also has Poms.  I got a lot of mine from him a few years ago.  Don't mess around with Wonderful.  To me, that Pom is a waste of time.  If you can get the hardy Russian varieties.  Their fruit looks ugly but will fool you!  Good luck!

cheers,

Dennis, how well has soft-seeded poms done for you?  Why exactly is Wonderful a waste of time, just to be sure?

Hello Joyce,

Hopefully you have reached out to Cindy who is the president of the Florida Pomegranate Association. If not, I'm president of the Alabama Pomegranate Association and would love to help you. For more information about us, I invite you to like us on Facebook (Alabama Pomegranate Association). I have several questions to ask you.

1. What variety do you grow? There are ornamentals that never produce. Some pomegranate varieties do not like humidity.
2. What fertilizer do you use? 1st place to start is a soil test. Yellow leaves = distress
3. How old is your tree?
4. What size is your tree?
5. Is your pomegranate in full sun or shade?
6 Do you have well drained soil or soil that holds water?
