soidog2 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Plenty available but not the ones you might be familiar with. Fruit is small, tasty if ripened properly. Outer skin is more yellowish than red and so is the inside. You will see it in markets bagged or paper wrapped, the better ones are from China.

Morakot Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Grown here in the North. Possibly elsewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namdocmai Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 The good ones have small soft seeds, are sweet and also look nice if you are lucky. Did you eat these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonfish Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Thanks for the replies. I've seen plenty for sale or sold juiced. But was told by the venders that there all imported from india. Looking to plant a couple of trees, but seems like they won't produce in Tland. Cheers. Sent from my iPhone using ThaiVisa app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loong Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 My neighbour has a pomegranate tree. She doesn't prune it - she hacks it. Keeps regrowing and a reasonable amount of fruit. The kids love them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredge45 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 There are a number of varieties grown here. I have 3 different types growing here on my place. Just look around the flower markets or ag shows (Mae Jo Uni comes to mind). May not do well in the wetter south but here in the semi-arid north they grow quite well.

WormFarmer Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 We have four trees, they tend to be a bit straggly and need regular cutting back. My wife picked this one yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WormFarmer Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 My wife tells me that the tree that the one in the photo came from she grew from a pip (seed) from a pomegranate imported from Indian that she bought in our local market. WF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickstart Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 We have 5 trees 2 , brought from our local market they are growing well ,have fruit on after 3 years I what variety I do not know,but they are not over sweet. The misses planted some seeds , from the Chinese one's ( no problem being F1 ?)must have been about 3 years ago they are growing well and this year is the first year ,they have fruit, and the fruit is sweet ,not over big , and knowing when to pick them ,not pick them before they are ripe as we have done . They can stand the land being wet, no chose on our land,,we put on some 20-10-10 fert,+ cattle manure .Our local bird population like them when they are almost ripe. we have found when almost ripe, a lot tend to spilt ,can still eat them. Can not see me making any money on them at all ,but it still nice to have a few trees around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rice555 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Hello All, ran across this in my banana search at the Ya Mo Festival her in Korat. This where, a 100M or so from Hwy 224, the first pic is looking back at Hwy224, behind and down about 3 soy's is Ya Mo. Across from the guy on the red moto is a at the curb/plants in pots is a white sign, thats where the next 2 pic's were taken. I didn't ask for prices. I did get a partial trans on the sign, "soft seeds". rice555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
