How to Plant & Grow Babylonian White Pomegranate Trees

Sun Requirements 🌞: Full sun for at least 6-8 hours per day ensures optimal growth and fruit production.
Soil Requirements 🌿: Prefers well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.5) enriched with organic material to promote healthy growth and fruiting.
Spacing 🌳: Space trees 10-12 feet apart to allow ample room for healthy growth and air circulation.
Mature Size 🌳: The Babylonian White Pomegranate Tree grows to a mature height of 12-15 feet, making it suitable for both smaller gardens and larger orchards.

Step-by-Step Planting Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Soil 🧑🌾: Choose a sunny location with slightly acidic, well-draining soil. Amend with compost or organic material to improve fertility and moisture retention.
2️⃣ Dig a Hole 🕳️: Dig a hole at least twice the size of the root ball to give the roots ample space to expand.
3️⃣ Position the Plant 🌿: Place the tree in the hole, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil surface.
4️⃣ Backfill & Water 💧: Fill the hole with soil, press gently to remove air pockets, and water thoroughly to settle the roots in place.
5️⃣ Mulch Around the Base 🌱: Apply mulch or Weed Pro Weed Mats around the base to help retain moisture and prevent weed growth.

Ongoing Care & Maintenance

Watering 💧: Keep the soil consistently moist during the first year. Once established, water deeply once a week, especially during dry spells.
Pruning ✂️: Prune the tree annually to remove dead or damaged wood and to shape it for better airflow and fruit production.
Fertilizing 🍃: Apply Nutra-Pro 1st Year Fertilizer Paks to encourage strong root growth. For mature trees, use a balanced fertilizer annually in early spring to support fruiting.
