Pomegranate - a brief description of the plant

Pomegranate is a fruiting deciduous shrub or tree reaching a height of 5 m or more. The thin spiny branches of the plant are abundantly covered with small, glossy bright green leaves. From funnel-shaped, orange-scarlet flowers, large fruits develop - spherical berries, called "pomegranates" in botany. The diameter of the fruit often reaches 17–18 cm. Numerous seeds are hidden under the leathery skin, which can be of any shade from yellow to dark red. Pomegranate seeds are in peculiar chambers - inedible partitions of white-yellow color. Each seed is surrounded by juicy, sweet and sour pulp, and their number in one fruit is more than a thousand.

Pomegranate is a rather unpretentious, but very thermophilic plant, and few gardeners can afford to grow it on their own plots. However, the dwarf forms of this plant grow well at home, as a pot culture. Of course, the baby will not surprise its owners with the harvest, but it will delight with the decorativeness of a flowering tree. Potted pomegranate is a godsend for bonsai lovers and many gardeners are happy to experiment with this patient plant.

Indoor pomegranate is great for creating a bonsai tree

Growing indoor pomegranate from seeds

For reproduction, ripe pomegranate seeds are sown in a container with loose, nutritious soil. When the hatched seedlings grow up a little (usually it takes about two months), they are transplanted into separate pots and placed on the south window. In order for the indoor pomegranate to bloom and set fruits, it must be in the sun for most of the day. Young plants prefer moderate watering and fertilizing with complex fertilizers, carried out twice a month. In winter, indoor pomegranates shed their foliage and do not need frequent watering and top dressing. All they need for this period is a bright location and an air temperature of + 5 + 7 ° C. With the end of the dormant period, that is, after 2-3 months, the plant is transplanted into a larger pot, if necessary, formative pruning is carried out and watering is resumed. With the onset of heat, indoor pomegranate can be taken out into the garden.

Grown up pomegranate seedlings are transplanted into pots and placed on a bright window

One of the most popular miniature pomegranates is the Carthage variety. When potted, the shrub grows no more than one meter. Numerous branches with small bright leaves in May are covered with purple flowers 3–4 cm in diameter. Flowering continues until August and ends with fruit set.

Often at flower growers you can find Baby indoor pomegranate. A small shrub about 50 cm tall, rarely leafy - the leaves are collected in bunches and are at some distance from each other. It blooms with beautiful orange-red flowers. Fruits of medium size with a thin red-brown skin. Grains are small, sweet and sour.

A miniature baby tree in summer is covered with flowers, ovaries and pomegranate fruits at the same time

I grew my indoor pomegranate from seeds - a friend brought a small pomegranate from her dwarf of an unknown breed. Of the 10 seeds planted, 8 sprouted. The seedlings grew up quite quickly, and were planted by me in separate pots. She left one for herself, and the rest went to friends. Now my grenade is already 7 years old. Bloomed for the first time in the third year from planting. It blooms every spring, and at the same time you can see flowers, ovaries, and fruits on it. My pomegranate is especially beautiful in summer - fireworks of green, red and orange, but in winter it looks more like a withered tree. He loves to cut his hair - I shape it every spring, as soon as new leaves begin to appear. Without a haircut, it instantly turns into a shapeless bush. And yet - in the summer I try to spray it with settled water at least once a day. By itself, indoor pomegranate calmly endures the dryness of the air, but during such a period it is attacked by a spider mite, which loves the lack of humidity very much. In late autumn, small pomegranates ripen, the size of a plum, with a bright purple skin and sour, juicy cherry-colored grains. Surprisingly, the grains in these small fruits are of a regular size, not small, just much smaller than in traditional fruits. For the winter, the tree almost completely sheds its leaves and I put the pot on a cold window, away from the battery. I water very rarely, slightly moistening the soil.

A big role in my life is played by hobbies - floriculture, gardening, traditional medicine, pets. I love nature and all living things very much, so I read a lot of articles on various phenomena and patterns of life, everything that brings harmony.

When one of our loved ones needs to raise hemoglobin or improve their health after an illness, we think about pomegranate juice or rush to buy this strange large fruit in a strong peel with many ruby seeds. Common pomegranate is an exotic plant for us, growing in warm countries, only its surprisingly useful fruits come to us. But there are gardeners who do not recognize the difficulties, they manage to grow some varieties of pomegranate in seemingly completely unsuitable conditions in the middle lane.

It is believed that the pomegranate came to us from the territory of modern Tunisia, although it is difficult to say anything for sure, since this culture has existed for more than three thousand years, about which there are many different kinds of evidence. A picturesque shrub or large tree can grow for 100 years and bear fruit for a very long time. Since mid-autumn, ripe fruits have been on store shelves - large fruits with a thick, strong skin of different colors. They are sandy yellow, yellow-orange, bright red, red-brown. Numerous grains, inside of which there can be about a thousand, differ in color - different varieties of pomegranate differ in the intensity of the red color or its almost complete absence. So, the grains are almost white, pale pink, bright red, ruby, almost black. The taste can also be sweet, sweet-sour or even very sour.

Some lovers grow indoor varieties, which are compact and decorative, but the fruits, although edible, are not particularly sweet. Pomegranate loves a lot of sunlight and heat, its growing season lasts up to 8 - 9 months, and frost below -15 degrees can be fatal. Therefore, north of the subtropics, this crop is grown in heated greenhouses and requires too much attention, which is why it is not very common.

The peel of a ripe pomegranate has no cracks or defects.

When choosing a pomegranate, pay attention to the peel - it should have a dark red tint, be free of defects and cracks. It is better to choose a large fruit, as it will have the most juicy seeds. The heavier the pomegranate, the juicier its flesh.

Overripe fruits make a muffled sound, dents may remain on the peel. Try the pomegranate to the touch. A good fruit will be firm, but a bit resilient. If traces remain on the peel, it is better not to buy such a fruit.

The most delicious varieties of pomegranate

Experts divide pomegranate varieties into 2 groups: with soft and hard seeds. The former are very demanding for cultivation, and are not suitable for central Russia. The second group is fruits with hard seeds and juicy grains - they can be grown in the Moscow region.

The protective skin of the berry can be of various shades - from light pink to dark, crimson. But a whitish color does not mean that the fruit is not ripe, but only indicates its varietal characteristics. To choose a pomegranate for taste, you first need to know the most popular varieties that you can find in stores and on the market.

Ak-Don Crimean

The fruits are large, oval in shape, with a thin skin of a pink hue with red spots. The grains are light pink, the pulp is sour.

Kizil anor

Uzbek early ripe variety with pink-scarlet skin. The grains are bright red in color with a sweet and sour taste.

Bala mursal

The fruit is medium-sized, flattened, with red-raspberry grains, very sweet and fragrant, the sourness is barely felt. The homeland of the variety is Azerbaijan.

Nikitsky early

Very large fruits with a high neck and a large calyx, with a red skin of medium thickness. Dark cherry grains of small size. The taste is sweet and sour.

Cossack improved

The fruits are large, round in shape, with a creamy-green skin on the outside, and yellowish on the inside, uneven in color over the entire surface.

How to pick a ripe pomegranate without cutting it

It is worth noting that without cutting the peel, it is quite difficult to choose a juicy, ripe and tasty pomegranate at the same time. But adhering to certain rules, you can try to determine the taste of the fetus by picking it up and examining it.

The appearance of the berry

Before choosing a pomegranate, inspect it carefully. One of the signs of ripeness is an elastic peel. Most often it is a pronounced red color, interspersed with pink or orange.

Brown tint, cracks, dents are not allowed, as they are signs of fruit rotting. In a ripe berry, the surface (peel or pericarp) is dry, leathery and stiff to the touch.

Too dry skin can be a sign of improper storage or transportation. The grains of such a pomegranate can be sluggish, unsweetened, tasteless - it is better not to buy such fruits.

You should not take and too smooth to the touch, visually glossy berries. This is the first sign of immaturity

Having carefully examined the pomegranate, you can see a cup that looks like a crown or a flower. In a ripened fruit, it should be dry, open and colored in the color of the skin, but not green.

By weight of pomegranate

To choose the right pomegranate, you must definitely pick it up. A fruit that is heavy in weight is almost always ripe inside - as the grains ripen, they begin to fill with juice and become heavier.

By sound

Ripe fruit can be identified by the sound of tapping on it. The poured fruit, when physically impacted on the peel, makes a sonorous "metallic" sound, and when pressed, a crunch of grains is heard. Unripe - sounds muffled, and overripe - muffled. In addition, dents can remain on an overripe pomegranate even after a slight impact on them.

Storing pomegranates at home

The picking season for pomegranates is from October to the end of November. Ripe fruits are well transported and tolerate long storage, but they can dry out. Clay will help to avoid this. It is mixed with water to the consistency of sour cream, the resulting solution is filled with a crown on the top of the berry.

It is recommended to store pomegranates individually wrapped in paper. So that the skin does not dry out, a room with high humidity is recommended - a basement or cellar. The air temperature in the room should not be higher than 1 degree Celsius.

Subject to the storage rules, the fruits will be edible for 9 months;
If the thermometer readings are above 10 degrees Celsius, ripe fruits can be stored for no more than two months.

Outcome

Regular consumption of pomegranate has a positive effect on immunity and overall health. By choosing ripe and juicy fruits in winter, you can protect yourself and your family from infections and restore the protective functions of the body after an illness.
