Have any of you ladies every planted a pomegranite seed? I would love to have a tree but, I'm not sure if I can successfully grow one from seed or it I should lookd for a small plant.

Rhonda, interesting that you are posting this and you are in TX also! Probably because we have Pommegranates growing wild around here.... We had dozens of Pommegranate bushes at our old house and when we moved I wanted some here. From everone I asked about planting/sowing them I got just a blank look so when I found two plants at a nursery, I snatched them up! They have been in the ground for two years now and grew to about twice their original size. I give them extra water when it is very dry around here and they get their weekly sprinkling because they are surrounded by lawn. Someone told me not to feed them. They grow wild because they like the meager soil and a "rocky" environment.

I think I've tried to grow just about everything from seed at one point or another! I have grown several pommegranate bushes from seed from a commercial fruit I bought at a grocery store. I have no idea whether they will ever bear fruit, but they look really nice in large pots on my patio in the summer. One of the more knowledgeable ladies at our Farmer's Market said they will flower and that the flowers were really heavily scented. They are four years old now and I'm hoping for maybe even just one flower this summer!
