    Pomegranate will grow in most types of well draining soil.

    Some people do contend that the soil type should be in the slightly acidic to neutral range, but Pomegranate will grow well in alkaline soil as well.

    The last one, 5.5-7.5 would be more ideal. I believe the first article meant to say the pH can go up to 7.5 or 8, though 7.5 seems to be the consensus. That article has been sent to the editors for review and correction. Sorry, for the confusion.

    Different cultivators produce Pomegranates with white or pink seeds. They are all edible.
    Some say the pink and white seeds are sweeter. Enjoy!

    It could be Whitefly, Scale or Mealybugs.
    Neem Oil is a good treatment for either of these pests.

    You don't need two trees to produce fruit, but it can help increase fruit production:

    Research shows that sanitation in growing and care are vital.
    This along with applications of antibiotics and copper fungicide.
    Strepto Cycline @ 0.5 g per liter and mixing with COC 2 g per liter will help with control.

    Also, make sure your tree receives adequate water during fruit production, and that it's not deficient in nutrients, since low water or nutrients could inhibit healthy fruit growth.

    There are older varieties of pomegranate that produce smaller fruit, so you may have one of those. However, some gardeners report that thinning their pomegranate fruits helps each fruit grow larger.

    To thin, wait until the fruits start growing so that you know which ones have been pollinated. Then remove the smaller fruits in each cluster (at the end of a branch), leaving only the largest one or two fruits.

    Another possibility is that your tree is just very young. As your tree gets larger, it may have better fruit production.
