Cold Hardy Salavatski Pomegranate Cuttings

[6bFigs]

Bumping this thread ....did I miss out on this chance?
And does anyone have experience in growing poms in containers? Too cold in my zone for in ground. Wondering if it's worth the effort for growing in container.

I may have missed out also. I responded in November and haven’t herd anything.

I forgot about this and am already growing enough for now - Wonderful, an unknown and started cuttings of Parfianka and Kara Gul.
I'll be growing everything in containers. Up to 15 gal for now.

I just haven't had a chance to prune my Salavatski yet - I'll try to do that tomorrow but I think the cuttings are going to be on the punier side. I'll update soon.

When I requested pomegranate cuttings from the germplasm repository years ago I was shocked that they were so skinny (1/4 to 1/2 pencil thickness) and 10” long. They rooted just fine, just took awhile. I still root ‘extra skinny’ ones.

So I checked the plant. Do you all still want them if they're puny? They're pretty puny.

I’m ok either way. I think do what is best for you and your tree.

This is my favorite time of year to visit Edible Landscaping and see what hardy pomegranates they have. Usually I can pick up a small rooted cutting of one I don’t have for $7-10. They have the varieties planted in ground unprotected, not sheltered by a building so even though they are a zone warmer, I get an idea of which ones might live here. Unfortunately I seem get distracted.
