Description
The tree produces an abundance of beautiful bright orange flowers over an extended period of time during the spring. The fruit is abundant, very large and red in color. Both the flowers and the fruit are produced at a very young age. Salavatski is very heat tolerant, prefers full sun for best fruit production but will tolerate some light shade. Very drought tolerant once established. It is adaptable to any type of well drained soil. The tree is self-fruitful but production is increased with a second tree planted nearby. An excellent tree for the north as far as New Jersey.
- Very large red fruit, with red arils and sweet tart juice.
- COLD HARDY ZONE 6-10
- FULL SUN
- Self Pollinating
- Bears: August-October
- 7-10 FT tall and wide Fully grown.
Bare Root Plants: the plant is shipped with the roots taken out of the pot/ground, and the roots are then wrapped in moist paper, with or without soil. The roots wrapped in moist medium is then covered with some kind of plastic to hold the moisture. The paper with moisture will keep the plant alive, during the journey. The plants, once received, the roots should be given a soak for 30 minutes and planted immediately.
Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plants are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in Fall and Winter and will lose most of their leaves. Looking dead and dry, is very normal. The plant will flush out in Spring.
We cannot ship certain plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by the California Department of Agriculture.

FAQ's
How does Salavatski Pomegranate taste?
Salavatski Pomegranates taste sweet with a slight tartness when not fully ripe. Their arils are reddish, and they have bright colors. A Salavatski Pomegranate tree produces many beautiful orange flowers during the spring.
Are Salavatski Pomegranates self-pollinating?
Pomegranate trees, including Salavatski Pomegranate trees, are self-pollinating, but pollination from other pomegranate trees increases fruit size and produces more fruit.
How big do Salavatski Pomegranate trees get?
Salavatski Pomegranate trees grow to about 15 feet with an equal spread at maturity. They prefer full sun to produce the best fruit, although they can tolerate a light shade.
How long does it take for a Salavatski Pomegranate to fruit?
Salavatski Pomegranate takes 2 to 3 years to fruit. Initially, they require between 100-200 chill hours. A mature Salavatski Pomegranate tree can produce 90-100 lbs. of fruit under optimal conditions.
Do you need two pomegranate trees to produce fruit?
The bees do all the pollination on self-fruitful pomegranate trees. The fruit production on both plants can increase when you plant another pomegranate tree nearby. It isn't necessary to cross-pollinate, but a little doesn't hurt.
How do I protect my Salavatski Pomegranate tree in the winter?
Mulching is the best method to protect your pomegranate trees from winter. They can survive that way in the prolonged cold, but it would be great if you used a frost blanket. Pomegranate trees should not be placed near heating vents whose hot, dry air will damage their leaves.
As with other plants in a dormant or semi-dormant state, water pomegranate trees sparingly during winter, the soil should only be moistened every week to ten days, down to an inch (2.5 cm).
Where is the best place to plant a pomegranate tree?
Sunlight is vital to pomegranate trees. To maximize your tree's growth rate, place it in full sunlight. Your tree should be planted in an area with sandy loam soil and good drainage. A good drainage system is also essential for your pomegranate tree to thrive.
