Instructions
Top Tip
Prune your Punica tree in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged wood and encourage a strong, open structure. Avoid heavy pruning, as the tree blooms on new growth, and excessive cutting can reduce flowering and fruiting. Thin out congested branches to allow light and air to reach the centre, promoting healthy growth and maximising the fruit yield. Regular maintenance will keep your tree thriving and productive year after year.
How to Water
Water your Punica tree deeply after planting and regularly during its first growing season to establish a strong root system. Once established, these trees are drought-tolerant but should still be watered during prolonged dry spells, especially in hot weather, to ensure consistent growth and fruit production. Avoid overwatering, as waterlogged soil can harm the roots. Always water early in the morning or late in the evening to minimise evaporation and maximise water absorption.
How to Plant
To plant a Punica tree, choose a sunny, sheltered location with well-draining soil, ideally with a neutral to slightly acidic pH. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and slightly deeper than its height. Place the tree in the hole so that the crown is level with the soil surface, then backfill with a mix of soil and compost, firming gently around the roots. Water thoroughly and apply a layer of mulch to retain moisture and reduce weeds, keeping it clear of the base to prevent rot. Punica trees thrive in warm climates, so position them to make the most of sunlight.
