Pomegranates are neat. If you can complete this, it will neat when you're in the autumn of your life and can point to the Tree That Should Not Be Where It Is and say "I gave that the conditions for its life to blossom". (smiles)

I hope so. :)

I'm planning to give some as gifts, and at least two to the university. The latter I consider to be in need, because they have only one scraggly little pomegranate that turned out to be ornamental. (All seed, no fruit.)

I think all plant seeds grow according to gravity. Maybe there was a local inverse gravity field on that one seedling ... :3

I'll be watching that one for antigravity fruit!

I've got a pomegranate sitting around growing hard, did you just take the seeds out and start them? Do they have to be dried first or do you peel off the pith?

Do tell me more. Pomegranates will grow here with a southern exposure and I've never even thought of starting from seed.

I saved the seeds from a pomegranate that I'd eaten (I eat the pulp; if you don't, peel it off, or it'll get moldy), put them in a plastic baggie with a damp paper towel, and waited a week or two. After that, I put the seedlings in a well-drained potting soil, kept them damp, and waited.

Enjoy!
