ABOUT THIS POMEGRANATE TREE
Hawaiian Beauty Pomegranate Tree, VERY FAST GROWING! Unique in the world of pomegranates this is a rare Hawaiian cultivar with ornate white blossoms that make a showing in the spring through summer. Following close behind the unique blooms are spherical fruits colored light green with a slight pink gradient hue. What a great contrast to the redder varieties. Wonderful for container or in ground orchards. These are very healthy fruiting plants with well established root systems.
The growth rate, and fruiting potential of Hawaiian Beauty will vary greatly depending on soil type, sunlight, temperature and other factors. Lower leaves are often trimmed prior to shipping to reduce transpiration and travel stress.
POMEGRANATE TREE CARE
Hawaiian Beauty are very easy to grow fruiting plants that require little care. They add a wonderful accent to any outdoor space, garden or patio. In very cold zones containerized Pomegranate trees can be brought inside for the winter months. Most will survive a very light frost and quickly return to normal in spring. In the northern end of their grow zone Hawaiian Beauty plants should be brought indoors or protected with mulch during the winter months.
When you receive your new Pomegranate tree, there is no need to worry about planting right away. Your new plant can be stored for a while by simply placing it in a bucket with about a half inch of water in the bottom and moving it to a shady location. You can then add some mulch to the bucket to keep your plant standing upright. The mulch will also supply nutrients while in storage. This will give you plenty of time to select the ideal location for your new Pomegranate tree.
CONTAINER SIZE
Pomegranate trees grow very well in patio containers. Allow enough room for growth generally a 10″ to a 20″ diameter, 10″ deep container will suffice to get started. Remember the looser the roots, the taller and healthier your plant will be. When the plant becomes root bound its growth will slow. At that point it is time for a much larger pot.
SOIL
Hawaiian Beauty Pomegranate trees enjoy well drained but moist, rich organic mix. Remember try to stay away from wet, mucky or dry, sandy soils.
FERTILIZER
To help establish your new Hawaiian Beauty Pomegranate Tree, fertilize sparingly at least 6 inches away from the base, tri-annually with a slow time release 15-5-10. Unfertilized they will tend to grow very slowly. Note: The heavy salts in cheaper fertilizers will damage the roots and possibly kill the plant.
GROW ZONE & LIGHT
Best outdoors if grown in zone 8a-11, find your zone here. This Pomegranate Tree requires 80-100% sunlight. Depending on your location full sun is best. In the northern end of their grow zone Hawaiian Beauty plants should be brought indoors or protected during the winter months. The patio zone is 4b-11 which means the potted plant will flourish over the summer months in colder zones but must be brought inside before the first frost.
BEFORE YOU PLANT OUTDOORS
Here at Kens Nursery these Pomegranate trees are grown under 20-40% shade cloth. If you plant directly in full sun you may experience leaf burn. It is best to acclimate this plant to its environment by keeping it outside and slowly moving it into a sunny area over a week or two to avoid stress before planting.
