    The darker the red the sweeter the pomegranate. If u hold the pomegranate in your hand you can squash the seeds within the inside from the outside. Once it's really soft. You can puncture a small hole and drink the pomegranate. The thick skin prevents it from being messy when squeezing it. The light color from my experience of eating a lot of them aren't well developed but the dark blood red are really sweet. Pomegranates are great energy booster and also give you great smooth. Blemish free skin.

    Thank you! So much great info. I always thought those bugs were protecting my pomegranates! 😱 So I never killed them. 😖 We had tons of pomegranates, guavas, figs, mandarins, and guanabanas last season but ate none! The birds, squirrels, and bugs ate them or damaged them (except the mandarines) indiscriminately. Not this coming season! The trees are pruned and ready to go. I hate netting, but I'm gonna have to this time around. I'll make sure to leave a handful of fruit for our beautiful birds, squirrels, and other critters that come thru our garden.

    Starting some pomegranate in our greenhouse. We had a bush at our old homestead but it never got higher than four feet. I think it’s because it was under a pine tree. We got some new pomegranate from a friend that says these are a tasty breed. The old one was at 4500 feet the new one will be at 5200 and we do get snow but rarely go down to 20F. Here it will get full sun for sure. Here’s to hoping for fruit in the future. 😁
