3 Salavatski Pomegranate Starter Plants - Cold Hardy Edible Fruit Tree

The Salavatski Pomegranate is a cold-hardy variety prized for its showy orange-red blooms and sweet-tart edible fruit. This starter plant offers gardeners in cooler regions the chance to grow their own pomegranates, whether in the ground or in containers. Its attractive foliage and bright flowers also make it an ornamental addition to the landscape.

Salavatski is known for producing medium-sized fruits with a tangy, juicy flavor, excellent for fresh eating, juicing, and culinary uses. As a starter plant, it is ready to be transplanted into a sunny spot where it can develop into a productive fruiting shrub or small tree.

Planting & Care

Transplant your Salavatski Pomegranate starter plant into a sunny location with well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and set the plant at the same depth it was growing in its container. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system.

Once established, pomegranates are relatively low-maintenance. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Prune in late winter to remove dead or crossing branches and to shape the plant. In colder zones, provide winter protection such as mulch around the base. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced fruit tree fertilizer.
