Do pomegranate trees grow well in the Bay Area?
Yes. With full sun and decent drainage, pomegranates are among the most reliable fruiting plants for many Bay Area microclimates, especially warmer inland or sheltered spots.
How much sun do pomegranates need to fruit?
Full sun is best. More sun usually means better flowering, stronger fruit set, and sweeter arils.
Are pomegranates drought-tolerant?
Once established, they’re quite drought-tolerant. For best fruit size and flavor, deep watering during bloom and fruit development helps.
When should I plant a pomegranate tree in Northern California?
Fall through spring is ideal. Avoid planting on the hottest weeks of summer unless you can water consistently during establishment.
Do I need two pomegranate trees for pollination?
No. Most pomegranates are self-fertile, though having another variety nearby can sometimes increase yield.
How long until a pomegranate tree bears fruit?
Many begin producing a small crop in a couple of years, with stronger yields as the plant matures and roots fully establish.
