My Pomegranate Story – the Diary of a Pomegranate Enthusiast

Hi, my name is Hayim/Victor, I am very excited to share with you my amazing pomegranate story.

This is my pomegranate story – beginning way back when I was a child on my parents’ farm. I’m going to take you on my journey with me as I share with you my first-hand experience of receiving my very own pomegranate trees and how I cared for them and ultimately fell in love with this amazing fruit.

I’ll share with you all the interesting things about growing your own pomegranate trees, caring for the trees, and harvesting the fruit. It’s a beautiful thing to see the fruit begin to grow and then realize one day that it’s ready to pick off the tree. There is something inherently satisfying about harvesting fruit from a tree that you’ve nurtured and maintained for years!

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to grow your own pomegranates? I sure hope you will check back often to read more about how I take care of my trees and how we harvest the fruit each season.

Perhaps you will be inspired to plant your own trees and then come back and share your experience with me! I’m always interested in hearing other people’s stories about growing pomegranate orchards – everyone’s experience is different, which makes each one interesting.

My pomegranate story is one that is ongoing, so I hope you will visit this page often to see what is new. I’ll talk about every aspect of growing your own pomegranate orchard and what it takes to care for these special trees. I’ll share with you the best time to harvest, how to harvest, and hopefully give you inspiration to try some pomegranates yourself. We have plenty of recipes you can choose from to give this amazing fruit a try right in your own home!

Pomegranates are a delicious tangy fruit. I fell in love with the taste of this ruby red fruit as a child and I still love them today as an adult. I enjoy drinking the healthy pomegranate juice, it keeps me young and healthy. I hope you will find some inspiration here – whether it’s to grow your own trees, enjoy the outdoors, or to simply try pomegranate fruit for yourself.

Hi, I am going to give you some details of my pomegranate orchard... I have a relatively small pomegranate orchard, my orchard includes 252 trees. The trees are very young - almost 4 years old. They are called Aco 128/129 pomegranates. The distances between the trees are 4.5 X 5.5 M. The trees have no leaves, are sleeping, are bare, and I am almost finished with the pruning season. I promise to show you soon some pictures of my orchard. See you soon.

I had a nice walk in my pomegranate field this morning. The trees look all red, they have started blossoming.I sprayed the small branches that grow around the trunk,I usually don't cut them, if I would cut them theywill grow much stronger, it is very easy to spray them.

Pomegranate is the perfect additive for the skin. Ancient Greeks touted its medicinal benefits; while modern beauty editors point out that the fruit is loaded with powerful antioxidants. archipelago botanicals pomegranate products carry the delightfully fresh scent of pomegranate - and are blended with premium ingredients.

My pomegranate field looked beautiful this morning,the leaves grew and became all nice and green,it looks more like a real mature pomegranate field,I can't wait for the fantastic red flowers to blossom.This will be in the next week or two.

This week I also sprayed around the trees trunks to get rid of the small branches that grow around the trunk. I also sprayed against the ants.

I was walking this morning in my pomegranate orchard, I saw many fruits on my trees, they starting to mature, I even opened one fruit and it was quite red inside.

The picture you're seeing here is from my stroll this morning. See how pretty the pomegranates are growing.

Now it is the time to protect the fruits from insects, I suggest you to cover the fruits with nylon stocking, as we suggested last year in this site.

This summer is a very hot season, you should increase the amount of water and try to water at least twice a week.

I had a nice surprise this morning as I was walking in my pomegranate orchard, the fruit has grown to the right size and to the right color. I will probably start the picking on September 1, 2011.

There are different sizes of fruits in my orchard, that is because the blooming season came in a few stages. It looks like I will have to do the picking in a few stages as well.

Here is an amazing picture of the fruits from today.

Congratulations I finally started picking my pomegranate fruit, this is about two weeks later, after the fruits were almost ripe on September 1, 2011! I have a pretty good crop this year, the fruits are nice and big, they have a beautiful red color outside, the arils inside have a nice red color and they are quite sweet and juicy.

Now it is the right time to start making pomegranate juice.You can store it in the freezer in glass bottles,it will keep in the freezer at least for one year.

Enjoy the new pomegranate season. Take advantage of the amazing health benefits of this great fruit.

I look forward to sharing with you!
