Pomegranate "Myagkosemyanni Rosovyi"

The accession number at ARS-GRIN is DPUN 139. I've had the basin and hole ready for a day. The temperatures finally dropped below 85 F just before sundown and I got that bush in the ground. Whew!

Looks like you have excavated a large hole and planted the bush on mounded portion of the hole. You are right on! All my research has shown that the proper procedure for planting most everything including bananas is to dig the hole 3 times the diameter of the root ball and half again as deep. Mounding helps to effect better drainage . I suspect it could help increase the soil temp in zones that need it. Best of luck.

There's no mounding -- except when I plant my avocados because they are shallow rooted. But otherwise you are correct. I've documented my planting procedure for bananas here: Guide To Growing Fruiting Bananas In Temperate Climates

Two days ago I pruned my plant and selected some cuttings, then soaked them overnight in magic elixir. Yesterday I planted them out in rooting pots. Hopefully some of them will take. It's usually 2 months for pomegranates.

To soak them, I put them in upright into about a quart of water that had been premixed with:
1/8th teaspoon IBA rooting powder
1 drop Jump Start plant hormone
1/8th teaspoon urea-free 20-10-20 (primarily to set the pH near 6.2)

There's lots of buds on the mother plant now. Here's the first one to open into a flower

I have about 40 varieties of pomegranate trees I planted this spring. I do not have Myagkosemyanni Rosovyi pomegranate. What do you like about this variety?

In March I removed all the root suckers and new sprouts on the stems -- except about a half dozen at the very top of each stem. These will be 6' to 10' high by midsummer and then drooping under the weight of fruit a few feet from the ground by Fall.
