I brought my little Pomegranate indoors yesterday to cut back some wild shoots and think about removing the wire and there, smiling at me, was a little bud!
So, the wire stays on a while longer.
I potted up and wired the plant in early October, and it seems very happy, but I wasn't expecting it to flower for a good long time!
The pick on the bottom right is how it looked before the wiring.
Trees...Good, aren't they!!!

Well, after much fevered anticipation...the bud fell off.
Never mind!
Dewired and lightly trimmed, I'm starting to think about a new pot for this little cutie when the time is right.
She's 2cm at the base,
15cm tall,
and 25cm across at the widest point.
What size pot should I go for?
I read somewhere that pomegranates like a deeper pot. Can anyone confirm this?
As for shape and colour, the search is on!

I find that they like/need quite a lot of fertilizer and that also improves fruiting and flowering. I think a smaller pot would make yours look better.

Thanks Watto!
I was leaning towards a smaller pot.
I'll up the fert regime as advised, but I presume I should hold off over winter?
I have a lovely twin trunk full size pomegranate waiting to go into a bonsai pot come spring too. It's the double-flowered one on my avatar.

Cheers!

No reason to hold off fertilisiing our trees unless they go dormant.
I doubt (in Sydney) a pomegranate will stop growing over winter.

I fert just about everything year round here and Grants test on pines indicates that fertilising them over winter is probably a good idea
the only reason to stop fertilising deciduaous trees IMHO is to help them get better colour in Autumn

Thanks Ken, that's worth knowing.
If they don't go dormant, does that affect when we can repot?
