How to care for it

The pomegranate wants direct sun all year round and always lives outdoors, even in winter in mild-climate areas. From May to August water should be given every day, checking that the substrate in the 40 cm pot dries on the surface between one watering and the next; in autumn and winter watering is greatly reduced, avoiding the waterlogging this species does not tolerate.

Frequently asked questions

Is the plant I receive the one in the photo?

Yes, this is a one-of-a-kind specimen and the photo corresponds to the plant that will be shipped. As it is a living plant, the foliage may look different on delivery due to natural growth, pruning, pinching or normal seasonal changes.

How much does it weigh and how should it be handled?

The total weight, plant and 40 cm diameter stoneware pot, is 22.5 kg. It is best to lift it by holding the pot from underneath rather than by the trunk, placing it on a stable, solid surface, since the centre of gravity is high due to its 70 cm height.

Can it be kept indoors?

No. The pomegranate is a Mediterranean deciduous tree that needs temperature variation and direct light: it should be kept in the garden, on a terrace or balcony all year round. In winter it loses its leaves, which is normal and necessary for the dormancy of a specimen of this age.
