Pomegranates thrive in full sun, needing at least 6 hours daily for optimal growth and fruit production. Plant them in well-draining soil to prevent root rot.

Dig a hole 2-3 times wider than the root ball of your Pomegranate tree and just as deep. Loosen the surrounding soil to encourage healthy root development.
Carefully remove your Pomegranate tree from its container and gently loosen any circling roots. Place the plant in the hole so the root ball sits level with the surrounding soil. Backfill the hole and tamp gently to eliminate air pockets.
Water your newly planted Pomegranate tree deeply, soaking the soil around the base until water runs freely from the drainage area.
Apply a 2-3 inch layer of organic mulch around the base of the tree, keeping it a few inches from the trunk. Replenish mulch as needed throughout the year. Water regularly during the first year to encourage root development, but established trees are drought-tolerant.
