Do you know the variety of pomegranates you grow? I’m thinking of trying one in a large container to bring in if we have an early frost/freeze some years.

Ditto your lemon tree. I’ve got a Meyer lemon but we are considering a Eureka or Ponderosa.

Sorry Agnes, I don’t know about the pomegranate because I dug it as an offshoot from an old hedge of ‘em. My lemon is a Meyer like yours. I love those things and could eat ‘em by the bushel if I could afford them. Alas, I’ve only gotten 4 or 5 per year from my tree.

My lemon is in a container and they seem to do beautifully for everyone. I know greeneyes also has one and I’ve seen others here mention them too. Our unusual weather this year has given us many days of hot dry hard winds. When I’m home I bring my lemon tree in but there have been three days it was left out in that wind, it left my tree more than half leafless.

We have good weather for pomegranates tho and use them for privacy hedges. They are a great fruiting screen from our busybody neighbors.
