I believe they’re self-fruitful, but
hand pollinating would certainly increase your chances more than jiggling… From:

a little input. I do have 2 "nana" pomegranates that I feel are
worthwhile having around just to have the fuchsia-type blossoms in the middle
of winter. However I have never had fruit-set. I have not done
research: are these flowers complete and just need jiggling or do they need
some sort of cross-pollination? Now you've got my curiosity up. I
grew them from seedings more for bonsai, but a fruiting would be fun too! I've seen 'Nana' flowering and fruiting - outdoors - in the St. Louis
Zoo; but, I can't swear that they don't 'bring them in' for the winter - or,
maybe even totally replace them every year. You may just need to do
some hand-pollenation. |
