Hey Matilda
Just curious... how often do they bare (sp) fruit? How long does it take before you can pick one? 1 Month, 2 Months? How do you know when they are ripe?
In Brooklyn, I can buy them 2 for $5. That's a good price and I think that that's expensive ! How much are they there?
The name in DR is granada and we have three trees (bushes) here. Yes they do grow quick. Purchased one plant three years ago from a local garden center (only time I have seen it). Ours do produce fruit about twice yearly but we have had a problem with something eating most of it before it is fully ripe - think it is rats but not sure. Any one else have this problem? As well when ripe they do not seem to go nice and red like the ones that you could buy in the grocery stores back home. Still taste good but not as good as store bought. Any tips on this would be great..Thaks Tom
Mine has fruit again now - the second time so every 6 months seems about right. They start off green then slowly turn red. That seems to take a couple of months. They are ready when they are red all over. The ones in the shops are bigger and redder and cost 40RD$ - just over 1 us$.
No idea what is eating your pomegranates Tom. Maybe rats or caterpillars??? Mine get eaten too - but by the kids!
