General Information

Purchase Date – January 2022
Original Owner – Ed Clark
Estimated Age – 10+ yrs (as of 2023)

January 2022

I acquired this tree from Ed Clark in January 2022. He had extracted it from the ground, and I performed some trunk chops. I then repotted it into a Tokoname training pot and left it mostly untouched, except for providing fertilizer and some minor cutbacks to help it regain its vigor.

Repot to a Tokoname training pot and let it grow for a year.

The tree has recovered quite well, and I will now transition to refinement techniques. I’ve observed that cutbacks don’t yield consistent branch bifurcation in pomegranates. Therefore, next year, I plan to experiment with defoliation instead.
