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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFertilize lightly in spring with a balanced fertilizer.
