I planted my first pom this year in ground from a 1 gallon pot. It's already ~6' tall! On a single stem. The majority of the bush is about ~3.' I'm hoping it survives the Winter. Going bush style because I'm not sure how much damage it'll take during the Winter. Hoping for a still alive bush and a couple fruit next year.
Interesting to see how the different pruning effected those trees, I had no idea they were used at windbreaks, but that gives me an idea of using them here, thanks. Also the pig name is from an english town, pronounced "gloster" 😀
Greetings from Slovakia ❤️❤️ , your pomegranate trees are huge. Here we have to grow them in pots and in october-november hide them indoors.. I have made rootstocks from seeds and then grafted with some new cultivars. Fingers crossed with all you are planing to do ❤❤❤
We do have the benefit of an ideal growing climate for pomegranate trees, so we do get a lot of growth on them. Fingers crossed you'll be able to get a ripe fruit from your trees!!
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm same here getting updates is nice, i am gonna plant some pomegranates in zone 6 b this upcoming spring, gives me some ideas on pruning stuff in future
Your entire presentations are always excellent! I really appreciate your help and meaningful suggestions. I do have a question about our pomegranates for you…am I giving them too much water late in the summer if I have a lot of splitting fruit? We are in Hereford, just outside of Sierra Vista. These are the sweetest and best pomegranates we have ever grown but we have more splitters than we would like. Thank you so much! Steve
It's hard to say for sure, but that is usually one of 2 things. An irrigation issue or the fruit is ripening. Both of those can cause pomegranates to split. Glad you're enjoying the content!
Hey Daryl! Yeah, it's how we have always grown them, but we wanted to see how the different pruning forms would perform. They've all done pretty well though.
If thats your dream bro, take the step and go for it. Building a farm in the desert is like having a child, its work but if you work at it youll have no regrets and itll be worth it in the end.
I'm in hi dez of CA & also had squirrels, or something, eat EVERY ONE of my pomegranates! Ugh! Even put those gauze bags over & they ate right thru them😢 Next year I'll try sticky tape around the trunk & try making hardware cloth 'baskets' around the fruit. Love watching EON
Ground squirrels eat everything here in Palm Springs area. I got zero apples and peaches because of them. They don’t touch the figs. They eat pomegranates off the ground. I didn’t have a great crop this year due to heavy pruning.
thanks for your update on these, i have only 1 tree but will be growing it like a multi trunk as well, seems best. and those mice?! how to prevent that...i've lost all my 'harvest' this year :(
We have only had the White Persian and have not been too fond of it, so we have not sought out any other white mulberries. Our favorite black mulberry is the Shangri La.
I have 3 pomegranate trees (west Texas) and they supposedly do very well here…. Well mine are not!😅 it started to lose leaves I don’t know why, any suggestions on fertilizer or anything else? Thanks as always!
Hmm, it's hard to say for sure, but they do show some stress at this point during the growing season, so it could just be that. If they're dropping a lot of leaves you may want to check your irrigation. We are watering these trees 2x/week and they get 60 gallons of water each of those days. That will drop once we're below 100 degrees to 1x/week, 60 gallons. Fertilizing these is pretty straight forward and any fruit tree fertilizer will work just fine.
I’m from Southern California and my pomegranate has grown huge. However, I get only a handful of fruit. This year I only got one! After watching this video (and the first one), I’m thinking maybe the squirrels got to the fruit or flowers (because there were a lot of blossoms to begin with) before they even got to size-or am I doing something wrong?
There could be a few things going on, but stress of any kind can cause a tree to drop the flowers or newly set fruit. We are cautious in any changes to irrigation as that alone can be the cause of fruit drop. Of course, period pruning can help to induce fruiting as well. Lastly, they do need some fertilizer from time to time. We do that 3x/year.
I'm not always in sync with all the videos so I might have missed it in one of the older videos - What happened to the other cats? Didn't there used to be 5?
Yeah, we had 5 when we started out. We had one that essentially ran away (long story, but that's pretty much what happened) and the other was bitten by a rattle snake, so we're down to these 3.
Oh yes, we have ants all over the place as well, but we don't do anything with them. If you want to control them we've found Amdro does a good job of it. As long as you don't have animals around that may try to eat the crumbles, it's an effective product.
I’m still waiting for blossoms. They will be three 2025. Fingers crossed I get pomegranates Otherwise big full and happy. Almost 8 feet by 4 feet. Second one I planted. First year. 1/4 that size
Glahoo-caster or Kester (say it fast), from Gloucester, England. I was told they're a great hog for the swamps (fens) and foraging on the beaches. Large Black are a great breed (AKA Black Yorkshire), as are Texas Red Wattle. Reds like the heat. Greens and browns! gotta be mixed to it composts well, like your compost. There are three sections of compost, and they're not touched till needed. I just feel it's not good to mess with them because of the sun and heat. But, also, not a lot of manure goes in them. Pomegranates, yo! Two small bushes bloomed but the fruit was gone. The Wonderful has a lot of fruit that's slowly disappearing. But, the Caana is in bloom, again. All 3 get a minimum of pruning. niio, kids!
Hey Martin. Thanks for the pronunciation that pig. We had red wattle for the first time last year and they really did well for us. They're a bit harder to find around here when sourcing those feeder pigs.
I get the feeling you're probably right about that. With that lack of moisture in our soil around here you can probably measure they're life span in half lives!!
Yeah, they're due for an upgraded home here in another week or so. We like them to be more feathered out before we move them outside, but space is getting very tight for them!

Ah yes, it's a lot easier to pronounce than how it's spelled! 😊

Like much your update of pomegranate trees after 7 months prunning.
I'm glad you enjoyed this one!

You guys always make me smile!
Hey there Pam!! Glad you enjoyed this one and thank you for always being so encouraging on the podcasts. What a blessing you are to us!
I love your big Tom Turkey photo bomb. I think he wanted a little attention. LOL!
Yeah, we are finally letting them back out now that the grape harvest is done, so they're pretty needy!
I love how muddy your pigs are! BTW Gloucester is pronounced Glos (like lip gloss)-ter :)
Well now that's a heck of a lot easier to pronounce than I thought!!
Beat me to it lol

She needs a small bobcat to do all that shoveling for her 😊
That sure would help!
Excelelnt video, i have one Russian Pomegranate , this is first years it bears couple fruits
Glad you're seeing a harvest on that tree Abid. The first few fruits you get on a tree are always exciting!
Thanks for this video, I have two Pomegranate bushes and was wondering how to prune them. I agree with you. The natural bushy form looks better.
Hey Daryl! Yeah, it's how we have always grown them, but we wanted to see how the different pruning forms would perform. They've all done pretty well though.
Living the dream!
We have been blessed beyond measure.
If thats your dream bro, take the step and go for it. Building a farm in the desert is like having a child, its work but if you work at it youll have no regrets and itll be worth it in the end.

Sorry to hear you're able to commiserate with us on this one. They are little demons for sure!!
Ground squirrels eat everything here in Palm Springs area. I got zero apples and peaches because of them. They don’t touch the figs. They eat pomegranates off the ground. I didn’t have a great crop this year due to heavy pruning.
THREE SCAFFOLD BRANCHES FOR ANY FRUIT TREE IS PERFECTION
It does a really good job of keeping the tree balanced, that's for sure!
Can you prune the tips off the pomegranate tree?
Yes, especially if you're trying to encourage more branching higher up on the tree.
thanks for your update on these, i have only 1 tree but will be growing it like a multi trunk as well, seems best. and those mice?! how to prevent that...i've lost all my 'harvest' this year :(
I'm really not sure the best way to stop the mice. We're going to go the route of bringing a dog on the property that will hopefully help with that.
What is the best white mulberry tree?
What is the best black mulberry tree?
We have only had the White Persian and have not been too fond of it, so we have not sought out any other white mulberries. Our favorite black mulberry is the Shangri La.
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm thank you.
The white one is bad due to production or size or taste or sweetness?
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm while I have your ear…. Recommendations for large pomegranates and best producers.

Hello from England 🏴... Where we pronounce Gloucester as "Gloss-terr" 😉
Ah, very good. I was hoping we would have someone from across the pond to give us the correct way to pronounce it. Cheers!!
I'm not always in sync with all the videos so I might have missed it in one of the older videos - What happened to the other cats? Didn't there used to be 5?
Yeah, we had 5 when we started out. We had one that essentially ran away (long story, but that's pretty much what happened) and the other was bitten by a rattle snake, so we're down to these 3.
Do you guys have any ant issues? They're EVERYWHERE here. Crawling up and down all our trees. Any suggestions?
Oh yes, we have ants all over the place as well, but we don't do anything with them. If you want to control them we've found Amdro does a good job of it. As long as you don't have animals around that may try to eat the crumbles, it's an effective product.

Otherwise big full and happy. Almost 8 feet by 4 feet. Second one I planted. First year. 1/4 that size
Wow, you're getting very good growth, so hopefully fruit will follow here soon! 🤞

Hey Martin. Thanks for the pronunciation that pig. We had red wattle for the first time last year and they really did well for us. They're a bit harder to find around here when sourcing those feeder pigs.
All those large sticks and the peach seed you sift out I would probably bury. You may not live long enough for some stuff to compost.
I get the feeling you're probably right about that. With that lack of moisture in our soil around here you can probably measure they're life span in half lives!!
My husband pruned the poms all the way back. No fruit this year. UGGGG
Oh no! Well, as long as you're getting plenty of new growth on the tree now, at least you'll have a good shot at next year!!
PLEASE KINDLY ALWAYS PLANT YOUR FRUIT TREES IN A CIRCLE OF 8 OR 16 TREES WITH ONE IMPACT SPRAYER IN CENTRE
That would be a good design. Reminds me of the center pivot watering systems on large farms.
i prefer not to prune the pomegranates
We have always pruned at least lightly to remove any branches that are dragging on the ground, but they can sure do just fine on their own!
Is it me, or are the nuggets getting a little big for that space? Oh wait...are those baby turkey's?
Yeah, they're due for an upgraded home here in another week or so. We like them to be more feathered out before we move them outside, but space is getting very tight for them!
Pigs can never be on intermittent fasting lol
No doubt about that!!
They can if you invite your enemies to visit their pens. You probably shouldn't put that on RUclips though.
