    Hi,

    Both of my dwarf pomegranate's have started to flower. Do these plants self-pollenate or do i have to pollenate it myself? On one of my plants i used a cotton swap and just rubbed the inside of the flower against it and rubbed other flowers with the same swap. Should i only do this once?

    I was surprised to see one flower self-pollenate and grow a wizened little pomegranate. So I tried fiddling with some and got another to grow. In my house it looks like I'll manage one fruit per tree, fiddling or non-fiddling.

    Here are some pictures of the fruit, last year's, and new one's still on the plant. (I hope)
