Bonsai Comments:

Punica granatum is a wonderful Bonsai due to the eye-catching bark, robust tree trunks, bright red flowers, and ability to bear fruit. The glossy green leaves are narrow and like full sun in the summer and indoors but less in the winter. Leaves can withstand temperatures to 14 degrees F and pomegranates are sensitive to wet and need specific watering regiments. Water thoroughly, keep damp and reduce watering in the winter with weekly misting.

This fruit tree can be grown outdoors in a Mediterranean climate and indoors in a warm, sunny site with some shade in the winter. The pomegranate tree needs a number of years in the ground for the trunk to become thick because the trunk will not thicken in a bonsai pot. This bonsai plant should receive excellent air circulation always.
