Will we get Pomegranates this year?

Our pomegranate tree is flowering, and hopefully setting fruit for the first year.  There isn't a lot of swelling at the base of the calyx yet, but I'm watching and waiting to see how these interesting fruit develop.

The flower: so vivid and so delicate!



With the petals gone, the calyx has toughened up.

Until next post!

We had flowers but it would seem no fruit set. Too sad. I love pomegranates!

Oh dear, that's such a shame Ganeida!

I've tried pomegranate only once before, in a salad of all things, and liked it very much. I've heard they're VERY good for you.
