Planting techniques:
Pomegranate pollen of the same flower to the pistil of the same flower pollination is generally not fruit, different flowers and pollen between different strains of pollination when the fruiting rate is higher, inter-species pollination fruiting rate is higher. Artificial pollination can be used to improve the fruiting rate. Simple method with a brush will be pollinated soon after flowering pollen dipped in the tip of the brush on other different pots of flowers just after the opening of the tube flower artificial pollination.
Such as potted pomegranate more, when the amount of flowers can be picked budding bell-shaped flowers, take out the anthers, at about 22 ℃ for shade drying, anthers out of pollen with a plume of pollen and pollen sacs separate, will be in the pollen in the shade dry under the conditions of light protection, dry conditions and stored in the refrigerator standby. Pollination of pollen in a vial with the tip of the brush dipped in pollen and then gently point on the stigma of the tube flower just bloomed.
