- Subject: [NAFEX] potted pomegranate

Thanks for all the suggestions for potted fruit plants last month. I have decided to try a pomegranate. That is it attractive and drought-tolerant tipped the scales. That and that I've never seen one grown. (We all explore fruit in our own ways.) If it fails to thrive, I will grow a second citrus,
It will be Punica granatum "nana" or "eversweet".
Has anyone ever tried to keep the eversweet small? I have 2 to 2.5 gallons of pot-space, and 3.5' of headroom above the soil-line in my sunny window. I would like to try to "eversweet" if there's a reasonable chance of success.
Oh, and thanks to whomever suggested alpine strawberries. I have ordered a bunch, and will go out and buy a planter soon.
Best,
Ginda
