Q: I have a 4-year-old pomegranate. It is growing as a six foot tall multistemmed shrub. It appears lush and healthy, but it has never had more than two or three flowers and never any fruit.

Rather, it pollinates itself. Pomegranate trees are one of the trees able to produce fruit on their own. ... In spring and summer, pomegranate trees flower with showy orange and red blooms.

Pomegranate trees can grow either along the coast or inland, ... Bloom time is late spring to early summer although some flowers may appear as late as the fall season.

I live 1.5 miles from the ocean in Costa Mesa and have three pomegranate trees producing about 50 to 70 fruit per year. They are 12 feet tall, 12 feet wide and have been in the ground about 20 years.
