Bala Miursal Pomegranate - Cold Hardy Pomegranate

Description

Bala Miursal Pomegranate

Kara Bala Miursal is a deep red variety of pomegranate. The fruit grows very large and the arils are speckled with a sweet and sour taste. It is self-fertile but improve your crop with two or more varieties! This type needs 250 chill hours below 50 degrees Fahrenheit to produce. For container growing, prune pomegranates as a bush with 3 to 6 main trunks and top them off to keep the height manageable.

COLD HARDY ZONE 7-10

Self Pollinating
8-15 FT tall.

Plants will be shipped semi-bare-root (with little soil) from December to April. As the plants are dormant (sleeping), it is perfectly safe to send them bare-root. Winter is the safest and the best time to ship plants.

Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plants are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in Fall and Winter and will lose most of their leaves. Looking dead and dry, is very normal. The plant will flush out in Spring.

We cannot ship certain plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by the California Department of Agriculture.

FAQ's

How does Bala Miursal Pomegranate taste?

Bala Miursal Pomegranates taste sweet with a slight tartness when not fully ripe. Their arils are reddish, and they have bright colors. A Bala Miursal Pomegranate tree produces many beautiful orange flowers during the spring.

Are Bala Miursal Pomegranates self-pollinating?

Pomegranate trees, including Bala Miursal Pomegranate trees, are self-pollinating, but pollination from other pomegranate trees increases fruit size and produces more fruit.

How big do Bala Miursal Pomegranate trees get?

Bala Miursal Pomegranate trees grow to about 15 feet with an equal spread at maturity. They prefer full sun to produce the best fruit, although they can tolerate a light shade.

How long does it take for a Bala Miursal Pomegranate to fruit?

Bala Miursal Pomegranate takes 2 to 3 years to fruit. Initially, they require between 100-200 chill hours. A mature Bala Miursal Pomegranate tree can produce 90-100 lbs. of fruit under optimal conditions.

Do you need two pomegranate trees to produce fruit?

The bees do all the pollination on self-fruitful pomegranate trees. The fruit production on both plants can increase when you plant another pomegranate tree nearby. It isn't necessary to cross-pollinate, but a little doesn't hurt.

How do I protect my Bala Miursal Pomegranate tree in the winter?

Mulching is the best method to protect your pomegranate trees from winter. They can survive that way in the prolonged cold, but it would be great if you used a frost blanket. Pomegranate trees should not be placed near heating vents whose hot, dry air will damage their leaves.
As with other plants in a dormant or semi-dormant state, water pomegranate trees sparingly during winter, the soil should only be moistened every week to ten days, down to an inch (2.5 cm).

Where is the best place to plant a pomegranate tree?

Sunlight is vital to pomegranate trees. To maximize your tree's growth rate, place it in full sunlight. Your tree should be planted in an area with sandy loam soil and good drainage. A good drainage system is also essential for your pomegranate tree to thrive.

Note

Please note that the plant will be shipped in its pot, securely fastened with multiple layers of clear tape to prevent any shifting or damage during transit. This ensures that the plant arrives to you with minimal damage, safely and securely. We have been employing this method for shipping plants for several years, occasionally using smaller pots for added safety and convenience during transit. It's important to understand that many plants enter a dormant state during the fall and winter months, resulting in the loss of most leaves and appearing dry or lifeless. This is a natural process, and come springtime, they will begin to regrow and thrive once again. Please be aware that due to regulations set by the Department of Agriculture, there are certain plants and sizes that we are unable to ship to California. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
