Hi everyone, I love Pomegranates, they are very exotic and delicious and i got some blossoms from a friend, I froze them yesterday so they dont wilt. I want to know if it is possible to start pomegranates from the flowers that fall from the tree. I have some pics here.
WHile it may not be impossible to do some sort of tissue culture procedure, it is much easier to grow almost all plants from seeds. Flowers are not ripe seeds.
Pomegranites are not normally grown from seed. They are cutting grown from a plant that has good quality fruit. Flavorful, large, colorful...
Copy from a University of Florida Publication:
Propagation, orchard design, tree training.
Pomegranates are readily propagated from stem cuttings of various size and age. They root easily with application of commercial hormone products and placement in a mist bed. They can also root when placed directly into orchard soil. Pomegranates can be propagated from seed. They have a relatively short juvenile period and can begin flowering in one year, but more typically after 2 or 3 years.
