This is a Pomegranate I managed to acquire from a friend. It is not the Nana variety, so the beginning of the flowers will have to be taken off other wise it will weaken the tree too much. There are other buds on the tree which I will let one develop a little more but take the rest of. If they flower together I will take another picture.

Enjoy them as I do cheers Pup

Hi Pup,

Very nice thanks for sharing it look, forward to seeing some more snap shots of it in flower

Hey Pup,

Are you sure its not Nana? Punica granatum has a slightly pointed leaf end rather than the rounded end on yours, the flowers are also larger than those in your pic. (I compared size with a AA battery) Either way its a great little score & no doubt you will work wonders with it.

I could be wrong as I only go by what he told me. I said I liked it and could do something with it, he said yours for! so I took it.

I still like it, and if it is as you say it means I can leave one to mature so then we can enjoy it more.

Thanks Matt

If it's the same as the one i have here, and i'm sure it is, i'm pretty sure it's the dwarf pommy

Pup, just took a pic of my nana for you to compare, AA battery, open bloom & full size fruit. I am really keen to see what you do with this little gem. Matt

I love Pomegranates. I have one and my flowers are larger Pup. I to, think it is a "Nana". Lovely little tree.

Bodhi, has it started to twist yet?

I stand corrected! will treat it well just the same, so it developes along the way I want it too.

Thank you for your comments guys.

Cheers Pup

Interesting indeed!. I've owned "both" varieties in the past.
I've found that with the "nana" (I had for about 8yrs) the flower size was exactly the same as the regular cultivar I had. When it came to leaf size, the regular Pom ahd leafs about 3 times the size of the "nana". I don't have any pics of the regular one, but here are a couple of the "nana". Sorry 'bout the pic quality

Cheers!
