In Shock!

I've ordered fruit trees from other companies in the past and am completely in shock! The pom's I received are so nice! I mean, these are the nicest ones I've planted and I think I'm up to 27 fruit trees now! Thanks so much! Waiting for the everbearing mulberries to be back in stock, then will be buying those as well!

So far so good

I got my two pomegranate trees a couple of days ago. They were smaller than I thought they would be, but they look great! I'm going to have to wait a bit to put them in the ground because our April showers are still in snow form.

Pomagranite tree

Ordering was simple. Tree arrived in a timely manner. The tree itself was in great shape. Looked like it never went thru shipping, I was amazed at how healthy it looked. Already recommended the company to my sister. Would not hesitate to order from them again.

Tough Russian Pom

After planting my Russian Pomegranate last April 2024 we received an unexpected super freeze and all the beautiful green leaves froze and dropped off. I was amazed though how it rebounded in the next couple of months. During its first year in the ground it grew nicely and now I am waiting to see how it progresses in its second year. With all these arctic blasts we’ve had this year we will see how tuff this tree really is.

Great customer service!

When my pomegranate tree first arrived, it had leaves and looked vibrant. I became concerned when it lost all of its leaves within a few days. (I live in upstate NY and was concerned this was because of the cold it had endured during shipping.). I contacted customer service and they assured me that the tree was probably entering dormancy and that it would come back after this period. They made a note on my account, and said they will replace the tree if it does not come back. I got quick and assuring responses from customer service on several occasions, and they walked me through what I need to do with the tree, and what I should see as its dormant period ends. Crossing our fingers that the tree comes back:)

Hello I was wondering if you can grow it in indoors if yes. Would you give me the information about how to grow it and tell me what equipment I’ll need to use

Answers (1)

Perfect Plants Nursery 01/27/2025

To grow a Cold Hardy Russian Pomegranate Tree indoors, provide it with plenty of sunlight, maintain a temperature between 50-70°F, use well-draining soil, prune regularly, and keep the soil consistently moist. Equipment needed includes a plant container with drainage holes, high-quality potting soil, proper lighting source, pruning shears, and a watering can or spray bottle. Follow these steps and provide the necessary care to successfully grow the tree indoors. I hope this helps. Best, Kendall

Hi -- I'm wondering if the Russian Pomegranate would be the best variety for a coastal zone north of San Francisco? The soil stays pretty cool throughout the summer except for a few days and we don't have alot of frost or freezing temps. So not like Russia! Or like most of the locales of the customers, who seem to be mostly from New England.

Hi, Will it survive the zone 5 temperatures? It gets really cold up here.

Answers (1)

Perfect Plants Nursery 11/18/2024

Considering the extreme cold temperatures in zone 5, it may be possible for the Cold Hardy Russian Pomegranate tree to survive in your area, although it may face challenges during particularly harsh winters. To ensure the best chances of survival in such cold climates, it is recommended to provide extra protection during winter months, such as mulching around the base of the tree and wrapping the trunk with insulation to shield it from the cold.

Has anyone had this tree survive a zone 5b winter?

Answers (1)

Perfect Plants Nursery 09/05/2024

Fig trees are typically best suited for USDA hardiness zones 7-11, which means that they are not well-suited for the colder temperatures of zone 5b. However, with careful planning and protection, some gardeners have had success in overwintering fig trees in zone 5b.

In northwest Ohio would it be better to plant the trees in the fall or spring?

Answers (1)

Perfect Plants Nursery 08/27/2024

Hey There, In northwest Ohio, where the climate can be quite cold during the winter, it is generally recommended to plant fruit trees like the Cold Hardy Russian Pomegranate Tree in the spring rather than the fall. Planting in the spring allows the tree to establish its roots during the growing season before winter sets in, which can help it better withstand the cold temperatures and harsh conditions of winter. Best Wishes, Kendall
