Description

Imported from Afghanistan and extremely cold hardy to USDA Zone 6, the ‘Salavatski’ Pomegranate tree, also known as ‘Russian-Turk’, produces abundant very large red fruit, with red arils and a sweet tart flavor. Salavatski sailed through 3 degrees F in our gardens and is reported to have survived temperatures well below zero as far north as New Jersey. This pomegranate is self-pollinating so you only have to plant one.

But the great attributes don’t stop with cold hardiness…

In spring, the Salavatski Pomegranate will produce lots of fluorescent orange single flowers that really light up the garden. That said, two plants enhances pollination and increases fruit production. The flowers are followed by large, bright orange-red fruit that are filled with delectable, nutrient-packed, dark red seeds that are amazingly sweet and said to be the sweetest of any Pomegranate!

Some History

Originally imported from Afghanistan to the USDA Station in Byron, Georgia

NOTE: As with all of our other plants and trees, all of our fruit plants are grown in containers outdoors so they are fully rooted and landscape-ready upon arrival.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing up to 10 feet tall and wide with a naturally rounded shape, the Salavatski Pomegranate can be grown as a large shrub or lower branches can be removed to form an attractive small tree. Its electric-orange flowers, red fruits, and attractive foliage make it ideal for use as a specimen or in groupings in the ornamental landscape. A fine addition to the backyard orchard, tropical look gardens, orange and red theme gardens and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 14 feet or more for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6a, where the Russian 26 Pomegranate is not winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

When planted right, and in the right spot Pomegranates are very easy to grow.

Soil Preferences: Though pomegranates will tolerate most any type of average garden soil, as with most other fruit trees, Pomegranate grow best in a deep, loam soil rich in organic matter. Constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. So make sure to plant in a well-drained site. Brief periods of flooding won’t cause problems provided the soil is well-draining. If you live in an area that can experience long rainy periods it’s best to plant Pomegranate on raised beds or mounds. The soil pH tolerance for Pomegranate is wide as well. They will grow in moderately acid to moderately alkaline soils that range from 4.5 to 8.2 on the pH scale, so pH usually isn’t a concern.

Sun Preferences: The best and most pomegranate fruits will be produced when plants are growing in full sun. However, pomegranate plants that receive a little shade during the hottest part of summer days will still produce good crops.

PLEASE NOTE

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zones are the standard by which gardeners and growers can determine which plants are most likely to thrive at a specific geographic location. The zones are based on the average annual minimum winter temperature, divided into 10 degree F zones. That said, due to that any specific location can experience an unusually cold winter, where temperatures drop below the typical average indicated in the USDA Zone Plant Hardiness Zones data, the zones are not always 100% accurate. Therefore, in USDA Zones 6 and 7 we suggest providing some winter protection for your Salavatski Pomegranate tree. A 3 to 4 inch layer of mulch will help protect the roots during winter. Mulch can be thinned to 1 to 2 inches when temperatures warm in spring. Planting your Pomegranate on the east side of a home or in a location where it will be sheltered from north and western winds will also help to provide protection during the cool season.

So far so good received two previous trees from Other supplier DOA very disappointed
Your tree came in excellent condition!!!——————————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

Several months ago I was searching for a particular plant which brought me to Wilson Bros. I am not tech savvy but the website was excellent. Extremely easy, fast, answered all of my questions, and has a wonderful system. If the product is sold out, they email you to let you know that they now have it in stock. Delivery is fast, always packed carefully. I have never had a plant that was not perfect when I opened the box. I literally have spent thousands of dollars with Wilson bros and I will continue to do so. I have only called the company once, and they answered my question, were extremely knowledgeable and very pleasant to talk with. Pricing was great, no more Home Depot or Lowe’s. I have 25 acres in Odessa Florida with a gazillion Wilson Bros plants and this is the only company that I will purchase plants from.———————————————————————–I hope you are well! Thanks for letting us know, we are so glad you are pleased!
Have a great day!

Nice plant. Still dormant. This is a NEW trial here in Maryland.———————————–I hope it does well! We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG 🙂
