Pomegranate flowers have started

These are just the first to show for the new season, but always love to see the pomegranate bushes come into flower. Most fruit trees have a varying amount of blossom, so fruit yield varies by year. The pomegranate is generally the same each season, which is perhaps just as well, with most of our fruit weighing in at 1.5-2.0 kg (3.3-4.4 lbs) each -any more and they would collapse under the weight!

I know, neither did I when we started out. I love blossom flowers on the other fruit trees, but Poms are something else.
