Our Persian Pomegranate trees, originating from Saveh, are known for being easy to grow and requiring minimal maintenance. These trees remain dormant in winter, then leaf out in spring, producing beautiful red flower blossoms. To avoid premature blossom drop, it's important not to overwater during this period. Watering Schedule Spring: Once young trees leaf out, water them about every 10 days in most areas. Increase the frequency to once per week as flowers develop into small fruit. Summer: During the hot summer months, increase watering to twice per week to support fruit development. Fall: As temperatures cool, reduce watering gradually, and discontinue completely during the winter dormancy period. Mature Trees: Large, mature trees can be watered as infrequently as every 2 weeks to once a month, depending on the weather and tree maturity. Persian Pomegranate trees are highly drought-tolerant and require minimal watering. Planting and Growing Conditions Sunlight: Plant pomegranate trees in full sun for optimal growth and fruit production. Soil: Ensure the soil is well-draining to prevent root issues. Spacing: For creating a privacy hedge, trees can be planted as close as 6 feet apart. For more space, plant trees 10 feet apart or more. Fruit Ripening and Harvesting Ripening Time: In most areas, the fruits tend to ripen in the fall. Ripeness Indicators: The size, color, and texture of the fruit will help indicate ripeness. The size may vary based on the quantity of fruit; thinning smaller fruit can allow remaining pomegranates to grow larger. Aesthetic and Landscape Use Pomegranates have a droopy and dense form with beautiful red flowers and fruits, providing year-round interest in the garden. They are excellent for adding color to corners of landscapes and work well as focal points in Mediterranean garden designs.

In Iran, the arrival of spring is celebrated extensively as it coincides with the Persian New Year (Nowruz) and the blossoming of the Persian plum tree. As spring progresses, the blossoms of this tree gradually turn into fruit. One of the seasonal highlights is the arrival of Persian Plums, also known as Sour Goje Sabz, from Tabriz. These plums are picked while still green and are highly popular among both children and adults for their crunchy texture and tart flavor. Tree Characteristics The Persian Plum tree is relatively small and thrives in cooler winter temperatures while dormant. The fruit is green, round, and small at harvest. If left on the tree past the green stage, the plums ripen into a deep golden color, becoming soft, juicy, and sweet. This variety of Persian Plum sold at Paradise Nursery is from the northern Iranian city of Tabriz. Culinary Uses Raw Consumption: Persian Plums are typically eaten raw, often with a sprinkle of salt to enhance their tart flavor. In Persian Cuisine: Persian Plums are a key ingredient in Koofteh Tabrizi, a large, stuffed meatball simmered in beef broth with green plums added for tartness. They are also used in Khoresh, a traditional Persian stew made with cubes of lamb, parsley, and mint, where the plums provide a delightful tanginess. This stew is typically served over Persian rice. Growth and Care Climate: Persian Plum trees are deciduous and thrive in areas with cooler winter temperatures, making them ideal for regions with distinct seasons. Fruit Development: The plums are harvested when green, but if left to ripen fully on the tree, they turn into golden-colored, sweet, and juicy plums. Summary The Persian Plum (Sour Goje Sabz) from Tabriz is a beloved fruit in Iranian and Middle Eastern cultures. Its small, round, green fruit is crunchy, tart, and refreshing, often enjoyed with a touch of salt. These plums can also be used in various traditional Persian dishes, adding a unique sour flavor to meals. The tree thrives in cooler climates and produces a delicious fruit that transforms in flavor and texture as it ripens.

The rind can be used to make candied peel.  Because of its low acidity, it should not be used as one would use a Eureka Lemon in a recipe, as it won’t deliver any tartness.

Planting Mix

Plant the Princess Seedless Grape vine in full sun. This woody deciduous vine is ideal for training on a trellis, wall, arbor, or post. When planting, space the vines as close as 6 feet apart. The flowers are self-fruitful but require heat to mature the fruit. Grape vines also serve as an ornamental addition to the landscape. Watering, Pruning, and Fertilizing the Grape Vine Watering Instructions Winter Dormancy: Do not provide supplemental water during the winter when the vine is dormant. Spring and Summer: Begin watering once the plant leafs out in the spring, irrigating about once per week. Increase the frequency to 2-3 times per week during hot summer months. Fall: Reduce the irrigation frequency as temperatures cool to prevent overwatering, as excessive moisture can lead to fungal issues. Pruning Instructions Winter Pruning: Prune grape vines during winter dormancy to prepare for spring growth. The flowers and fruit grow on new canes, so annual pruning is necessary to keep the growth healthy and rejuvenated each year. Fertilization Instructions Soil Preparation: Till the top layer of soil in winter and apply manure and organic fertilizers before spring growth. Spring Fertilization: Use a balanced organic fruit tree fertilizer with a 1-1-1 or 2-1-1 NPK ratio (e.g., 5-5-5 or 6-3-3) in the spring to promote healthy growth. Summer Fertilization: Reapply growth formula fertilizer during the summer. Fall: Avoid fertilizing in the fall as the vine’s growth slows. Instead, apply a fertilizer with low nitrogen and higher phosphorus and potassium, such as a 1-2-2 or 1-4-4 NPK ratio (e.g., 4-12-12). Pest and Disease Management Fungal Prevention: Grape vines can be affected by fungi such as powdery mildew and rust. Ensure the soil is not overly wet to prevent fungal issues. Organic Fungicides: Use an organic fungicide like Liqui-Cop or horticultural Neem oil to prevent or treat common fungal diseases such as powdery mildew. History of the Princess Seedless Grape Vine The Princess Seedless Grape vine is a relatively modern cultivar, developed in the 1990s by the USDA Agricultural Research Service. It was specifically bred to combine the high-quality flavor of traditional seeded varieties with the convenience of seedlessness. Its excellent flavor, larger size, and heat tolerance make it a favorite among both home gardeners and commercial vineyards.

It can tolerate mild frost but should be protected from extended freezing temperatures. Spacing: When planting multiple Pygmy Date Palms, space them about 4-6 feet apart to allow for proper air circulation and root growth. Watering and Irrigation Watering Schedule: Pygmy Date Palms require regular watering, especially when young. Water deeply once a week, allowing the topsoil to dry out slightly between waterings. Summer Watering: During hot summer months, increase watering frequency, ensuring that the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the palm to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Keep the mulch a few inches away from the trunk to avoid rot. Fertilization Fertilizer Type: Use a slow-release palm fertilizer with a balanced NPK ratio (e.g., 8-2-12 or 10-5-15) that contains micronutrients such as magnesium and iron, which are essential for palm health. Application: Fertilize the palm 3-4 times a year, starting in early spring and continuing through late summer. Avoid fertilizing in the fall to prevent new growth during colder months. Pruning Timing: Prune dead or damaged fronds in late winter or early spring before the growing season begins. Method: Remove fronds that are yellow or brown to maintain the plant’s appearance and overall health. Be cautious when handling the base of the palm, as it may have sharp spines.
