Black Inside Pomegranate Tree Starter Plant 10-24 Inches Live Fruit Tree

The Black Inside Pomegranate is a distinctive fruiting tree prized for its deep, dark red to nearly black fruit and ornamental value. This starter plant arrives at 10-24 inches tall, ready to establish in a sunny garden or patio container. Its glossy green leaves and bright orange-red flowers add beauty to the landscape, while the unique fruit offers a striking contrast. Whether grown for its unusual harvest or as an attractive specimen, this pomegranate tree is a rewarding choice for home growers.

Pomegranates are long-lived, drought-tolerant once established, and well-suited to warm, sunny climates. This starter plant gives you a head start on growing your own fruit, and it can be cultivated in the ground in mild regions or in a large pot elsewhere.

Planting & Care

Choose a location with full sun and well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and at the same depth. Backfill with native soil, water thoroughly, and apply a layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the trunk. Water regularly during the first growing season to help the plant establish. Once established, pomegranates are relatively drought-tolerant but benefit from consistent moisture during flowering and fruiting.

Fertilize lightly in spring with a balanced fertilizer. Prune to maintain shape and remove dead or crossing branches. In colder zones, grow in a container and move indoors before frost. With proper care, your starter plant will develop into a productive and ornamental tree.
