Because of the different propagation methods and varieties, the fruit-bearing age of pomegranate trees is also different. Real pomegranate can only blossom and bear fruit in 3 ~ 10 years, while double petal pomegranate or agate pomegranate, which is mainly ornamental, can blossom in the same year of sowing.
The continuous fruiting period of pomegranate trees can be as long as 50 ~ 60 years, and then the yield will gradually decline and enter the aging period. After entering the aging period, the fruiting period can still be maintained for 20 ~ 30 years.
Pomegranate trees have many flowers, but the flower and fruit drop are serious, and the fruit setting rate is very low, so the yield is unstable and the phenomenon of big and small years is serious. According to the investigation in Yicheng District, Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province, pomegranate trees enter the full fruit stage around 15 years old, with a yield of 20 ~ 30 kg per plant, and the highest yield per plant can reach 50 ~ 100 kg.

Ecological habit
Pomegranate trees like light, have certain cold tolerance, and like moist and fertile calcareous soil. The flowering period is from May to July. Pomegranate is a fruit tree with a long history of cultivation in China and is widely distributed. Suitable for field cultivation, courtyard cultivation and potted plants.
It can not only bear fruit, but also be used for viewing. Pomegranate is a deciduous shrub or small tree in the north and a tropical evergreen fruit tree. The height of a tree is generally 3-4 meters, and it can be as high as 5-6 meters.
Rhizosphere is easy to take root and tiller, and can be used for regeneration or ramet propagation. However, under cultivation conditions, roots and tillers are usually dug up, leaving single stems or multiple stems to grow vertically.
