Certified ExpertA.Most varieties will produce in that area. As long as you keep wettable sulfur in the soil every few months, then the rain will not be too much of an issue.

Certified ExpertA.These areas appear to be experiencing a fungal infection. What if your fertilization routine, and do you notice this sporadically or is it in groups? Until I hear back from you, it will not hurt to try using dolomitic lime and wettable sulfur to kill off anything lurking in the soil.

Dallas TX 75218Q.pomegranate trees
I have several pomegranate trees in my yard that were prolific producers of pomegranate fruit. About 4 year ago we had a warm fall... then it went from 80 degrees into the teens in a day. The trees were not dormant so they were hit hard and in spring it was clear they died back significantly. They have grown back to original size but no longer flower/bear fruit. This is the 3rd spring they have not fruited. Any thoughts.

April 13, 2018A.There can be several reasons for the lack of fruit on your trees.
How old are the trees? Are the trees flowering, but not producing fruit? Do you see Bees in the orchard? Do you have other pollinators in the garden?
This article has some more tips.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/pomegranate/no-pomegranates-on-trees.htm
I would also suggest talking with your County Extension Office. The may have information on the damage suffered in your area and how best to deal with it.

93614Q.Weak Pomegranate Trees?
Hi- I have 8 small Pomos, and don't understand why 3 are "weak" and late leafers, while the others are strong and healthy. I'm including two pics- one of a healthy tree in the foreground and what I mean by "weak" in the back ground. The other pic is a close-up of the weaker tree. These weaker trees get the same sun, same rain, and largely the same watering during the summer. They were all planted at the same time at the same maturity from the same grower. I did overdo my pruning this winter, but again all the trees got the same treatment and 5 are leafing well. I notice the weaker trees have some larger dead branches, and one has yellow lichen on the dead branch. I know that moles/gophers are around... but what should I look for? Should I fertilize and water more, or is this a sign of over-watering? Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.

Certified ExpertA.Over-watering can be a likely cause, but I believe that the gophers will do far more damage to them. These pests will destroy almost anything planted in the ground, either for food, or because it is in their path for tunneling. I would look to controlling them first, and pruning out any dead branches. Stop the damage, and it will likely recover with time.

May 20, 2018Q.Sick (dying?) pomegranate tree
Hi I have four baby pomegranate trees in a pot at home. They seemed to go well for a good while, but lately they started to get dry curling and falling leaves. I tried to water them less (I knew they certainly couldn't need more water), but it didn't do the trick. I've been very eager to have a pomegranate tree and I don't want them to die. Thank you for your help Amélie

June 23, 2018Q.Why my pomegrante tree won’t bear fruit. Very gorgeous flowers, but no fruit.
It has been over ten years and my pomegranate tree produces abundant blooms, but at a certain point they all fall off. Year after year. I have numerous fruit and nut trees which all produce. Is there such a thing as a non-bearing pomegranate tree? I bought one that was a self-pollinator not needing another tree to bear fruit. Was I sold a bill of goods? If I need another tree to promise fruit what should I look for? I bought the tree at Armstrong nursery.

Certified ExpertA.Can you include photos? This could be caused by a few reasons. There may not be enough potassium or phosphorus in the soil, or the pH could be off. Alternatively there could also be a lacking of calcium and magnesium in the soil.
It is best to have your soil sampled to pin the cause. Your local extension service can help you with this. This link will help you to fine the closest one to you: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/extension-search
