The pomegranate tree is a tree with a subtropical climate, which thrives in areas with warm temperatures and good relative humidity. Although today there are varieties with good resistance to low temperatures, tolerating cold temperatures up to 15 ° C below zero. Pomegranate cultivation is undemanding in terms of soil nutrient requirements, although it adapts very well to soils with a basic or slightly alkaline pH. The planting frame varies according to the vigor of the variety chosen, the most common frame being 3×3 meters or 4×4 meters.
Although the pomegranate tree tolerates drought well, it is important to keep the soil moist without flooding the earth. In regions where the climate is dry and the soil moisture remains constant, the quality of the fruit improves considerably both in size and in texture.
During the flowering season, lack of irrigation can lead to flower abortion and fruit loss. On the other hand, during the fruit ripening period, excess water can cause cracking in the fruit.

I hope you will heed the advice in the video so that you don’t have to do drastic pruning, because the tree suffers from severe pruning and slows down its development. As far as possible, the pruning of the pomegranate tree will be carried out in a controlled way, to guarantee the health of the tree and to control the vigor of the vegetation.
Depending on the variety, the production of an adult tree can be around 50 kg/tree. For an average fruit size, this figure is equivalent to about 300 fruits.
