POMEGRANATE - GREENING WITH FRUIT TREES

Happy day! Loving Readers and Visitors, We guess that you have read and heard enough of  climate change issues, which warrants us to take  drastic and effective steps collectively to tackle it.  In today's article, we are sharing some ideas about  planting pomegranate trees at the every space that  is available to you.  In my case, I planted two pomegranate trees; one  just outside  my main entrance and the other at my  backyard. How wonderful, blessed with some fruits  while greening the environment. Killing two birds  with one stone. See my trees in the photos below. You must be aware that high inflation is the world's  phenomena today, by planting fruit trees at your  surrounding areas you may curb inflation to certain  extent. Apart from this, you may also plant some  indoor plants that can serve as air ioniser, filter and  purifier, which we have shared with you much earlier.  By doing all these, you can imagine how much money  we have put into your pockets indirectly through  reducing your electricity and fruit consumption bills.  Please note that we share these selected plants with  you, knowing that most of you are having daily busy  schedules, because they are very easy to maintain.  To make them more appealing, may I be allowed to  show you some of the fruits I have harvested from my  Pomegranates trees at my main entrance. (See the photos  below). However my other similar tree, at the backyard  does not bear as much fruits when compare to this one.  I guess that it is much younger. Can anyone tell me  other reasons which I may not know of? However, these trees do not provide much shade as  compared to other big trees. But do not forget that the  big trees do impose some danger to you if you do not  maintain them well especially they become BIG trees.  Coming back to my pomegranate tree which I planted  at a small available space in front of both my neighbour's  and my houses. Fortunately, you don’t need a large  amount of space for a pomegranate tree. They usually  tend to grow about 4 or 5 meters high and are ideal for  a small backyard.  This plant was introduced by my mum who practices  ancient belief that this tree will bring fortunate to the  owner. Initially we planted it at the pot prior to this.  We shared the cost of this small retaining wall we built  many years ago when the owner, of my existing  neighbour's house, Mr Poh, carried out some renovation  at his house. They have upgraded theirs sweet home to a  two and half storey house, at BU 6.  The photos above indicate to us how harmonious this  tree  is as it is accompanied by other plants that surround its  trunk and really make this area more appealing and  attractive, especially when colourful flowers blossom at  certain times of the year. One secret I need to share with you of maintaining this  tree is to prune it more frequently, i.e. by removing  unfruitful branches. The more you do, the more fruit you  will get. Unfruitful branches actually siphon some  nutritions from fruitful branches that need them to bear  more fruit.  Thank to my other Malay neighbour who brought to our  attention, its medicinal value when she approached my  wife for some of its fruit.  At that time, she was looking for white seeded ones,  prescribed exactly like ours. We offered her some and  least expected her to return us with other fruits the  following day, couple of years ago.  We do not know whether she has planted them or not.  In this regard, we would like to make the similar offer  to anyone who wishes to plant this tree. Please email  me your particulars or skype me. Thank God for all  these blessings and wisdom, which drive me to share  with you more.  Please let us know should you know of any particular  medical healing value of this fruit. As far as I  understand, it contains high fibres - good for skin and  eyesight. One thing you can be rest assured that this fruit  tree is without any fertilizer from our part and we grow it  using the dried fallen leave as its natural fertilizer. Pomegranates Pomegranates have up to three times the antioxidants of  red wine and green tea – and the juice has been shown to  reduce artery-clogging plaque, which in turn prevents  heart disease and stroke. Research shows that long-term  consumption of pomegranate juice may also help slow  aging and protect against cancer.
