Salavatski Pomegranate Plants are the most cold hardy compared to other varieties like "Wonderful" that could die back to the ground in central states. For instance, in Virgina these have fruited consistently without Winter Damage. Salavatski was his the choice for hardy, dependable, high quality fruit. The fruits as large as the store-bought "Wonderful" variety, and are orange-red in skin and red arils. Like "Wonderful" it is a hard seeded variety. These plants are good from zone 7-10, but may be grown to zone 6 when close to a house and with some Winter Protection. How to Grow Most all edible plants grow well in Full Sun but a little shade won’t hurt. Pomegranate Plants can be planted in most healthy soils in normal pH range. I recommend when you receive your plants to grow in a 4 inch to 1 gallon pot in a good organic potting soil like Fox Farm's Happy Frog. This type of potting soil has natural soil microbes and beneficials along with fertilizer already mix in. After your Pomegranate trees are a little more establish plant in a rich soil mix with similar beneficials and fertilizers.
