Pixies Gardens Russian Pomegranate Tree Considered The Sweetest of All Pomegranates (1 Gallon Potted)

We’re very happy with our purchase! After a few weeks, it now has new leaves starting. It’s thriving in our sunroom this winter, and in the spring we’ll be planting it on the south side of our house. Looking forward to watching it grow for years to come! Thanks for the great directions and careful shipping!

I ordered a one gallon pomegranate tree at Nov. 2017 and got it three weeks later.The tree looks good but has some small creaking in its bark,I talked with them. "it will be fine in next spring" they said, right now the two small creaking become 4-6" long with 0.25" in width. No sign it still alive, I sent the photo to the garden owner. He refused talking with me in the phone.

This variety considered not self fertile fruit tree, its got both male and female flowers, but mostly are male. I got this tree for about 4 years, its got couple flowers 2nd years without fruits, then 3rd, 4th, are the same no fruits, but more flowers, about 25-35 flowers, only 1 female, the rest are male and I did handed pollination it’s doesn’t work. I got onto u tube channel and found out that this tree needed another variety for fruiting, I’m unsure if it’s true or not but still give it a try and just got another variety called “Parfianka” from another seller last year and the utube guy says it will gave more female flowers than male. So will see if it’s working. I’m in zone 8b PNW.

So, there are negative reviews from people with NO patience. They should not have bought this. They should not be gardening. They want immediate results from a living thing. This plant is difficult, and requires patience. At the end of summer, it drops all its leaves and looks like sticks. In zone 6, you need to bring it in. It cannot withstand freezing cold. Don't put it outside and wonder when it doesn't live. I brought it inside. It had nothing but 2 leaves on one branch for about 5 months. But the leaves existed. I scraped the sticks--- green. So I continued watering it. Recently, some buds suddenly appeared (see photo above). Then they sprouted into leaves. Alive! So, if you cannot wait MONTHS for some sign of activity, don't buy this and complain later. This plant takes patience.***UPDATE***I left this plant in a pot OUTSIDE in the NYC winter. We live in Zone 7. Snow gathered in the pot. This spring, it was covered with red buds. It lived through the winter. The buds will soon become leaves.

Cold hardy to zone 6 only within a greenhouse tent in winter and placent on a south facing lawn next to a concrete foundation of a house for temperature moderation. Half the plant survives through winter above ground. Root system survives unprotected for new growth the next year.

I'm willing to come back and give it a higher rating if it grows but when I got the plant it had a lot of deadwood and 1 leaf. It was planted but its a lot of $ for a wait and see if it grows.UPDATE Deadwood is in fact dead. Single leaf died and no patience w it will bring it back.I've updated again now that it's mid-May not a leave the other items I planted are thriving.Waiting on vendor to respond as I'd actually like a live one vs refund but still no response from vendor

UPDATE: 14 June 2021Update:Hopefully the title doesn't mislead buyers. The received plant came quickly and looked beautiful; much like the flyers sent with the plant describe, there was a lot of leaf loss and small branches seem to have died back. Unfortunately it has been 3 weeks since the arrival, what was described to be the time when the small pomegranate would recover but all I see is struggle. I will update in a couple more weeks and see where we go. Im crossing my fingers for success, but I know this sometimes happens with weaker plants.UPDATE: 14 June 2021As you can see the plant is slowly dying back. I think that this rooting was just too weak for the transport. Is there a possibility for a replacement?

OK. Cheesy headline. But it's true. I'd been on the lookout for a pomegranate for a couple years. Then every season by the time I got out to my favorite nursery, stock would be gone. Likewise elsewhere. So my uncle says, "Look online." So I did. Not like I needed prompting. Or maybe I did. Pixies sent a small bush. The soil was moist. The plant even retained some of the leaves through transit. Of course, it was late season, the proper time to plant. I followed the directions for care and that weekend planted it and installed an irrigation line. I went and purchased some specialty soil with chicken manure and am looking forward to a productive new member of my yard. Love it.
