Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pomegranate & Fig Variety Pack Combo?
This combo includes two delicious and productive fruit trees—one pomegranate and one fig—perfect for home gardeners. The pomegranate tree offers sweet-tart red flowers, while the fig tree provides soft, honey-sweet fruit. Together, they give you a diverse harvest in a compact growing space.
What varieties are included in the combo?
Depending on availability, this combo typically includes a sweet pomegranate variety like A.C. Sweet and a fig variety such as Brown Turkey or Celeste. Both varieties are known for their taste, yield, and ease of care.
Can these trees grow in containers?
Yes! Fig trees and pomegranate trees grow well in containers. Just ensure they have proper drainage and are placed in the full sun. Container growing also makes it easier to protect them from winter cold.
How tall do these trees get?
The pomegranate tree generally reaches 8–10 feet tall, while the fig tree grows 10–12 feet wide. Both can be pruned to remain compact and manageable, especially in pots or small gardens.
What USDA zones are suitable for this combo?
The USDA zone range for these trees is 7 to 10. They enjoy warm summers and tolerate light frosts. In cooler zones, grow them in containers and bring them indoors or protect them during the winter.
Are these trees self-pollinating?
Yes! Both pomegranate and fig trees are self-pollinating, meaning each produces fruit alone. No additional trees are needed, though having more can sometimes increase the fruit yield.
How much sunlight do they need?
It is necessary for both trees to have 6–8 hours of direct sunlight per day. More sun means more flowers and fruit.
What kind of soil is ideal?
They prefer well-drained soil—sandy or loam is preferred. Avoid waterlogged or clay-covered areas. Use high-quality potting soil if growing in containers.
How often should I water them?
During the first growing season, water both trees deeply once or twice a week to help their roots grow strong. Once they are well established, they don’t need much water and can handle dry conditions. Just water them if the weather stays hot and dry for a long time.
When will the trees start producing fruit?
You can expect your pomegranate and fig trees to start producing fruit 2 to 3 years after planting. As the trees mature, they will produce more fruit, especially with proper care and sunlight.
What do the fruits taste like?
There is a mild tartness and mostly a sweet taste to the pomegranate's juicy red petals. The fig has a rich, honey-like taste with a soft, chewy texture—perfect for fresh eating, desserts, or preserves.
When is harvest season?
The best time to pick pomegranates is between August and October, during late summer or early fall. Figs often ripen a bit earlier—usually in mid to late summer—and some fig types may even produce a second harvest later in the season.
Are fruits healthy for one's health?
Absolutely. Pomegranates are rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and potassium, while figs offer fiber, calcium, and natural sugars. Both support digestion, heart health, and immune strength.
Are fruits safe to store?
Yes! Pomegranates can be refrigerated for 2–4 weeks, and arils can be frozen. Figs are best eaten fresh but can also be dried, refrigerated, or preserved as jams.
Are these trees easy to grow for beginners?
Yes! These trees are low-maintenance, resilient, and highly rewarding, making them excellent for both novice and experienced home gardeners.
