Join us at the Garden Pool for this great FREE class about pomegranates.
The pomegranate, punica granatum, is a fruit-bearing deciduous shrub or small tree that is known wqorld-wide for the tasty fruit it produces. Besides providing tatsy fruit, it looks beautiful in the yard and is easy to care for.
This FREE Class will by taught by Patrick Hallman, an enthusiast of sustainable living and an Architect living in Phoenix, Arizona. Patrick maintains an edible landscape at his residence, which provides fresh fruit and vegetables each month of the year. He currently grows many varieties of Pomegranate, Mulberries, peaches, guava, figs, citrus, cactus apple, prickly pear, sugar cane, blackberries, citrus, and seasonal vegetables. Of particular interest to Patrick is the Pomegranate, a common fruit in Arizona which is much better known abroad. Besides growing out 100 different varieties in Arizona for the first time, Patrick has set up trial plantings around the valley to evaluate and monitor each varieties performance.
The class will focus on 5 parts:
- History of the pomegranate
- Cultivation
- Pests
- Propagation
- How to get the best fruit
We will have plenty of varieties of pomegranate plants for donations of $12 per plant.
This is a FREE class, but any donation is appreciated to help us do what we do. Please RSVP to attend as space is limited!
Please do not SPAM this group with 3rd party groups, products, or businesses.

Will this be U-Streamed or recorded to YouTube? Can't attend since I live in Houston, but have a baby pomegranate, I'd love to learn to take care of it, rather than hoping for the best.

Sorry I can't attend. I moved to Austin last month. My friend gave me a dwarf pomegranate fruit with loads of seeds. She grew a tree from seeds from the original tree in Lebanon. What do you think my chances are for a new tree with the saved seeds? I just potted them today!

We usually have tilapia available for donation to help folks out with their aquaponic systems. Email [masked] or call Garden Pool at [masked] to work something out. Bring a bucket to the class.

If you plant two different pomegranates close to each other will they cross pollinate and thus loose their own characteristics?
