"These plants do require some focused attention and care. You need high-quality, nutrient-rich soil for best results. The pots need good drainage (as most do), but because pomegranate is a drought-tolerant plant, it doesn't require as much watering as some other dwarf fruit trees might. Dwarf pomegranate trees also require pruning during the first couple of years of growth, to prevent them from spreading too widely and to encourage fruiting."
"You can grow a dwarf pomegranate in a pot as small as 5 gallons thanks to its fairly shallow root system. The tree does grow larger with more room - it can accommodate 10-gallon indoor pots, and a 40-gallon pot on a patio would even work if you had the space. However, in smaller pots, you can expect it to grow anywhere between 1 and 2 feet tall."
Dwarf pomegranate trees adapt well to limited indoor space and can be grown in pots as small as five gallons due to a shallow root system. Larger containers (10 to 40 gallons) allow greater growth, while smaller pots typically yield trees one to two feet tall. These plants need high-quality, nutrient-rich soil, excellent drainage, and less frequent watering because they are drought-tolerant. Pruning during the first couple of years prevents excessive spreading and encourages fruiting. Optimal conditions include six to ten hours of sunlight daily, temperatures near 80°F, and low humidity. The fruits are small, abundant, edible but very sour, primarily ornamental.
