Q.Pomegranate Not Ripe
I have 4 trees all have bitter whitish seeds. What am I doing wrong? How do I tell if they are ripe? I want the deep red seeds. How do I get that?

Unfortunately, there are several reasons why this could be happening. Be sure these trees are, at least, 4 years old. If you know that they are, then be sure that you give them about 6 to 7 months on the tree for ripening. Outside of this, checking for proper soil nutrition may be necessary.
