Why Cold Hardy Russian Red Pomegranate® Trees?
Delivering pomegranates up north and down south, the Russian Red Pomegranate® lives up to its name, thriving in frigid, tundra-like conditions down to 0 degrees. With the Russian Red, you'll get delicious pomegranates nearly anywhere in the country. Plus, it's hassle-free, especially since it blooms later and avoids late freezes with ease.
The Russian Red Pomegranate® provides reliable fruit harvests in both good and bad years. Far north states (growing zones 3 through 5) can plant their Poms in pots to bring indoors for the winter. Plus, the Russian boasts one of the biggest harvests of any pomegranate variety. A mature tree can produce up to 90 to 100 pounds of fruit under good conditions. So, with very little space, you get plenty of fruit to eat, share, and juice. With organic pomegranates at $3.00 per pound, you'll have a highly lucrative landscape!
Unlike other Pom varieties, it's highly tolerant of disease and therefore resists funguses that plague other cultivars. Basically, you can plant it, forget it and pick it. It's a remarkably tough tree that also resists insects, disease, drought and fruit splitting.
Why Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better

Not only is this variety nearly impossible to find at local garden centers or other nurseries...but Russian Red Pomegranates® from Fast Growing Trees arrive directly to your door with better branching and healthier roots, ready to thrive without any hassle on your part.

Plus, with our larger sizes...you could get fruit as soon as the first few seasons.

Pollination Info
Russian Red Pomegranate® Cold Hardy Tree Pollination
Russian Red Pomegranate® Cold Hardy Trees are self-fertile. You will get fruit with only one plant. However, adding an additional pollinator will drastically increase the size of your crop. Below are the most effective pollinators we have chosen for your area...
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Pomegranates need full sun, 6 to 8 hours of sunlight daily, although they are quite adaptable to different soil types providing there is good drainage.
Once you've selected your location, dig a hole twice the size of the rootball and just as deep. Position the tree into the hole, backfill the soil, and then water the planting area well before spreading a 2 to 3-inch layer of mulch to help conserve moisture.
If you're planting in a container, select a pot that's about twice the width of your tree's shipped container and ensure it has drainage holes. Use organic soil, place your tree in its pot, and water to settle the roots.
2. Watering: Pomegranates have a good tolerance to drought conditions but will perform best in somewhat moist soil. Typically, you should only water your tree once every 7 to 8 days but in the warmer seasons, you may need to provide a little more. If you're not sure when to water, check the soil about 2 to 3 inches down - if it's dry, it's time to water.
3. Pruning: Prune after the first full year of growth (and before the second growing season begins). Dead, undesirable or weak branches should be removed to direct nutrients to the proper areas of the tree. By shortening larger branches, you can encourage more flowering. Remove dead/damaged limbs from the potted pomegranate in late winter - suckers near the base can be removed at any time.
4. Fertilizing: During the second year of growth, apply 2 ounces of nitrogen in the spring and then an additional ounce each following year. When the tree is about five years old, apply 6 to 8 ounces of nitrogen in the late winter before leaves begin to emerge.

United StatesPomegranate success
The tree arrived with a few leaves which fell off once out of the box. Looked scraggly, but I have long nurtured scraggly plants. I am keeping it inside for the winter. 10 days ago I noticed a bud, then another and already it has new growth all over it, 3" leaves and 4" stalks. This is a great plant to watch growing during the start of a new year.
United StatesLove this company. Best products. Best shipping.
I ordered so many items these last few months. I love how informed they keep me about shipping dates, delivery dates and tracking. The packaging never fails and my trees and plants get to me in excellent shape. Planted my Pom trees and will now wait until spring when I see new buds. Bought the hardiest Pom tree I could find and got a Parfianka as well. This is my favorite company to get my plants from because I have not had a bad experience ever.
United StatesBeautiful tree! Whimsical
I love our pomegranate tree! It was our daughters birthday present (she’s turning 8 & really wanted one) she was over the moon when we received it. It arrived with a little heat damage but bounced back and seems to be doing well!
United StatesSo far so good
The tree arrived healthy looking. Has been replanted into a pot for now. Hoping for a quick growth...
United StatesHealthy promising tree
Plant arrived in fine condition and experienced no set-back upon planting. Plant was smaller than expected however.
