Light Requirements:
Full sun is essential for optimal growth and fruit production - at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.

Water Requirements:
Regular watering during establishment period (first year). Once established, pomegranates are drought-tolerant but produce better fruit with consistent moisture during flowering and fruiting seasons. Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings.

Soil Preferences:
Well-draining soil is crucial. Pomegranates adapt to various soil types including clay, loam, and sandy soils, but prefer slightly acidic to neutral pH (5.5-7.0).

Fruiting:
Typically begins bearing fruit in 2-3 years. Fruits ripen in late summer to fall, depending on your climate. The leathery-skinned fruits contain juicy arils rich in antioxidants and vitamins.

Care Tips:
Apply balanced fertilizer in early spring before new growth begins. Prune in late winter to maintain shape and remove dead wood. Mulch around base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
