The dwarf pomegranate is a-thrivin'. Though I was not expecting any fruit on the little guy for another year, this dwarf tree/bush bore three mini fruits this season. It really couldn't be cuter. Here is a picture of the fruit that was cracked open on the branch today. The seeds are hardly the red jewel color I'd expect from a pomegranate and they were extremely tart and tiny. Maybe it is because that plant is still so young. But, the flowers keep coming on this plant. I would really encourage anyone living in So Cal to find one of these dwarf plants for their house/apartment. It is so easy to care for; the flowers are pretty and attract hummingbirds. AND, as a benefit, the pomegranate fruit is so beautiful and so perfect. I am considering ordering another one of these plants because I don't think one is nearly enough ;)
PS. I bought mine at Gurneys.com if you are curious, but I think this time around, I'd just ask my local nursery for suggestions on where to buy it locally.
