Pomegranate

@nela13 It takes a couple of years before they bear fruits. I always have a dwarf one, the fruits are not edible, but so cute. I use to decorate for Christmas.

@LadyDuck dwarf trees are very nice but I don't know how to take care of them.

It is an excellent fruit. We planted a second tree but it has no fruits yet.

@nela13 I’ll buy one at the grocery when I see them.just to see how they taste.

@RubyHawk make sure you buy the sweet ones.

Mine are sweet but there are sour ones too, if I could I would send you one so you can try the sweet ones.

@nela13 No, only the seeds. That's all they have in the stores here. At least that's all I've noticed.

@just4him the fruit often opens in the tree, that way it is easier to see if it is ready to harvest. It is a beautiful fruit.

You mean, you have never seen the fruit itself?

@Icydoll I have many fruit trees, oranges, lemons, cherries, plums, apricots, figs, peach, pears....

It is an excellent fruit, I am sorry you no longer have the tree.

@nela13 what other edible plants do you have ?.

Maybe you have tried the sour ones.

@CarolDM mine are sweet, even my kids like it.

@nela13 Yes I did.

I am glad mine are sweet, it is so delicious.

@Vree0937 I don't know if the skin color is related with its sweetness.

@nela13 ours has orange colors on skins. so maybe its make it sour. But so fresh to eat that in hot noon time

@nela13 I've had pomegranate juice by itself and couldn't stand it, but I think that it has been included in some smoothies that I've ordered and it was fine. Sometimes, the reason I can't remember whether I've had something is due to situations such as that. I'll order something, eat it, like it, and then not be able to remember later if I've had a specific thing because I've not actually worked with that particular ingredient myself.

I have only had fresh pomegranate. Did you try it in juices? Yes, there is nothing like to have our own fruits and vegetables.

@wilsongoddard maybe if you had tried the fruit you would remember.

Very rarely I buy it because mine are better.

@nela13

I like them so much that I don't mind the work they give to peel. I have my own and besides that my aunt also give me.

@nela13 in the store but I don’t think they grow here in Connecticut too cold

@BelleStarr I see, they grow well in my country.

Don't you have pomegranate there?

Yes, it is very good. You must try one of these days. Do you have pomegranate there?

Is it difficult to find it tehre?

@nela13 Yes and no. We only go grocery shopping once a month. So we might miss the season for them some years. They aren't a locally grown fruit.

@DaddyEvil I understand, here it is easy to find.

I agree, and mine are sweet so it always worth my time

Mine are quite sweet. I have never bought its juice.

@nela13 Okay.

I wait until they open in the tree, the one you see in the picture opened in the tree, it is easier to peel them when we harvest when they are already opened.

Really?! Don't you have it there?
