Pomegranates are usually associated with much warmer climes, so you may be surprised to learn that these fruiting trees are surprisingly hardy and can do well in a sheltered spot in most parts of the UK.

I have had my older plants out in pots for the last few winters here in the south of the UK - not bothered given them any protection and they suffered no problems whatsoever.

Seedlings I keep in the greenhouse over winter just to be on the safe side. The reason they are surprisingly hardy is probably due to their woody stems - once the leaves drop off in the autumn, you are just left with "sticks" that appear completely dead but obviously deep inside the protection of the wood the plant is fine - and new buds will start appearing in early spring.

Mature plants like full sun in a sheltered spot, especially if you want to get fruit  - whether in pots or direct in the ground. I have mine on a patio, up against a south acing wall.


Germination Guide
  • Soak the seeds in water for one day
  • Prepare a seed tray filled with moist (but not wet) seed compost, lightly firmed down
  • Ideally a well draining mix of 50% sieved compost and 50% vermiculite or horticultural sand
  • Sow seeds circa 1.5cm deep evenly space and gently cover
  • Keep surface moist but not wet  - best to water from the bottom by having seeds tray inside a waterproof container.
  • Keep at room temperature in a light place but out of direct sunlight
  • Seedlings should appear in around 30 days. 
  • Pot on to individual pots once large enough to handle
  • Give some protection over winter when young
