Russian Pomegranate Salavatski Punica granatum Cold hardy Zone 7 LIVE PLANT

I was very excited to receive my Russian Pomegranate plant in the mail today. You never know what condition a plant is going to be in when it arrives on your doorstep after who-knows-what happens to it as it slides and crashes through the mail system... so I always end up holding my breath as I unpack a newly arrived plant. As it turns out, I had nothing to worry about with this one! I am very impressed with how the seller secured and protect the plant for transit... all while using minimal materials (and I'm all about sustainability, bravo!). The plant was packed with care, and I could tell the box could have taken a beating without the plant suffering one bit.There were clear, easy instructions accompanying the little plant, instructing me to establish our new pomegranate tree in a pot before moving it outside to the ground. The picture here was taken a couple of hours after the plant arrived today and found its new home in a pot. See how green and happy it is? Will keep you all posted on its progress, but then it becomes more about me as a plant parent than the actual nursery it came from. Excellent experience, excellent price, very satisfied customer!

Smaller than expected

Updated review (2025): I'd brought these indoors to over-winter, but I didn't do a very good job. I'm hoping they make a comeback. Wish me luck!Original review (2024):These tiny Russian Pomegranate trees (2) arrived healthy. They have several thin green leaves, and are maybe 6-8 inches tall. I'm going to grow them in large planters until they're large enough to transplant outdoors in a season or two. I'm looking forward to yummy pomegranates in a couple years from now.

This is half the size I expectedI may send this back if they let me.This probably won’t make fruit for five yearsOtherwise, plant looks healthy

It is exactly what I was looking for just got to raise the tree now

I had it potted that day. It is doing well. I plan to wait till next year to put it in the ground.

I agree with the previous customer. Our experience was about the same as theirs, and the plant looks about the same, too. It looked good when we got it, but then it started dropping leaves. It's still not recovered. We have it now in the greenhouse and hope that it will survive.

this plant was about 4" in height.
