Elche Pomegranates have to be picked at just the right time: Not too early as once picked it halts the ripening process immediately and not too late as they will be at risk of bursting. HARVEST: March - May

TREE CARE
Plant in a well drained sunny position with well worked soil. Take care to plant the bud union above the soil level. Water in well and keep the soil moist until the vine is established. Fertilise when planting and again after new growth appears in spring. Prune side shoots in summer after the fruit crop.
