So.. I have been trying to read all I can on Pomegranate collecting. Cannot find very much. @bonhe has of course a range of pomegrates and good info on taking large cuttings. But now.. I have the option to dig up a larg shrub fairly nearby (But far enough to only goo there with the intent to dig). It is some 6feet tall, a dozen stalks comong out of a burried base. And is bare because of winter.
We are at the onset of winter. Temperatures will drop to maybe 0F this winter. So I am surprised this specimen has survived. The shrub will go to a shredder if it is still in place by the end of the year. So I need to dig it over the next weeks, with temperatures around freezing every day.
Now what would be the strategy here? I would need to cut down to maybe 2 ft to get it home.
Is this a lost excersize already? I hear they are poor backbudders, and will give up branches without active buds (Which would probably be all stalks).
Can I hope for a decent base to work from at least?
Or maybe you say: Just drop it, nothing interesting to be had from this, even if it survives?
Anybody any thoughts?
