Pomegranate tree dropping fruit

Posted by jenren2 NV (My Page) on

I have a pomegranate tree that is dropping fruit. According to some of the posts I have read it is most likely due to over fertilizing. Is there anything I can do at this point to save some of the remaining fruit?Thanks for your help

If you think it is over fertilization then flush the soil with copious amounts of water. Although I think it is a lack of sufficient water. Pomegranate, like Figs, will first drop fruit then whole leaves when water stressed.

Thanks for the advice, I was able to save the remaining fruit by deep watering it a few times and the tree looks great.
Appreciate it & thank you again!!!

What fertilizer do you use? I have a pom tree and I was wondering what I could use to get bigger fruit? Good luck with your fruit and thanks for any input :)
