Growth will be more vigorous in fertile, well-drained soils. Fertilize sparingly, with a light application of nitrogen in early spring. Water requirements are quite low once trees are established. Irrigate on regular intervals without excessive application to minimize the possibility of splitting fruit. Pomegranate is easily propagated from softwood cuttings taken in the fall.
Propagation is also possible from seed, but the offspring tend to be quite variable in quality.
The ease in cultivation and propagation has made the pomegranate a favorite since antiquity in native Eurasia and now throughout the temperate world.
