Russian 26 Cold Hardy Pomegranate – 3 Gallon Pot

Just got my pomegranate and promptly planted it in the Garden. It came super fast and it was carefully and securely packaged. Very impressed and happy with my plant. I think it might be a bit small for the 3 gallon, but this is actually not an issue for me because it has been so beautifully pruned that I only had to make a few cuts to get to the three branch shape I am looking for!
Excited to watch it grow :)—————————————————-Thanks for the photo and the kind words and wonderful review! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

Is there anything better than a ripe pomegranate? Although leafless because it is deciduous, this tree appears to be a healthy specimen with strong branches. We are so looking forward to adding it to our collection.——————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

Packaged well and This plant arrived healthy, with direction on how to plant. This is the first time I bought from Wilson Bros Garden and I am glad I did.

Our 3 gallon Russian 26 pomegranate tree arrived healthy and safe. We just planted it a couple of weeks ago but so far so good. It was a good size for the price. I wanted to order 2 right off the bat but my husband wanted to wait and see if we can keep this one alive. Hopefully next spring we will get another after we see if this one survives our winter.————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

Very pleased. Good sized healthy plant well rooted. The packing was great. And it arrived very soon after I placed the order. A little more expensive than some, but you get what you pay for. I got a great plant.——————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I was pleasantly surprised with the packaging and to open the box and seeing the tree with a lush green leaves, that was so cool. After a very recent disappointment with a Japanese maple tree purchase on a different website, this was a great relief.
Good job Wilson Bros Gardens!!!!——————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

We received the delivery of the Russian 26 Pomegranate tree that we have been so anxious waiting for. Honestly I didn’t expect much, because of past bad experiences from other companies. However, when the package from Wilson Brothers Gardens arrived we opened it immediately and we were wonderfully surprised and very happy. Carefully packed was a big, full, healthy looking bush along with a letter, personally signed invoice, and care instructions. We are excited to plant our new addition.
Thank you Wilson Brothers for your honesty and quick service.————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the great review!:) Beth Steele | WBG

I now recommend Wilson Bros Gardens. My two 3 gal pomegranate trees arrived after 7 days fro GA to AZ. I planted them the evening they arrived. I was so relieved that they were green and already had fruit. The roots were still a little moist and I am 100% satisfied with the order. They were packed by professionals. Excellent service! Thank you!!!!——————————–Thanks so much or the great review! We are so glad you are pleased! Beth | WBG 🙂

I have been looking for the Russian Pomegranate tree for quite a while. I finally found one that would grow in my Zone 6B at Wilson Bros., which didn’t cost an arm and a leg. The shipping was fast and the tree was expertly packed so it wouldn’t be hurt in the shipping. I followed the instructions on the package and now my tree is growing and healthy. I will definitely buy from Wilson Bros again!!! ——————- WBG Reply: Hi Robin – Glad we were able to help you out and we certainly appreciate your business and your review of the Russian 26 Pomegranate tree.

Wonderful condition and size. It hasn’t bloomed so I don’t expect fruit this year but the plant itself is vigorous and growing well.

I ordered two 2 gallon Russian 26 pomegranates from Wilson Bros. They arrived in perfect condition — well packaged in a large sturdy box supported by cardboard. The plants were moist, the soil was in tact, and the plants were undamaged. In addition, the plants were extremely healthy and had obviously been well attended prior to shipment. Also, the plants obviously were obtained from a reputable grower since the species was clearly tagged. My package even shipped well before the estimated ship time. This care in shipping was taken even though the shipping was free — no short cuts taken.
My Wilson Bros. experience contrasts with a shipment which I received from an Amazon supported nursery. The order placed was for Russian 8 pomegranates which Wilson Bros. unfortunately did not stock. The 5 gallon plants were packaged in a flimsy box smaller than the one used for the Wilson Bros. 2 gallon plants, no dividers were used to avoid movement, the containers were crushed, the soil had spilled, the plants were damaged, and the shipping was astronomical. To make matters worse, the Amazon purchased plants were simply tagged as Russian pomegranates. Since there are 6 types of Russian Pomegranates widely available for sale, I can’t verify that I actually received Russian 8 pomegranates regardless of the vendor representations that the plants sold were Russian 8 pomegranates. Comparing the 2 mail order purchasing experiences, I cannot say enough good things about Wilson Bros. I will definitely order from Wilson Bros. again. This nursery is the best!!!!

Tree was well packaged and very healthy. Don’t know if it will ever bear fruit or survive the New Jersey winters, I’m keeping my fingers crossed! Regardless, I’m very pleased with the quality of the tree I received! ————————— WBG Reply: Hi Frank – Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Russian 26 Pomegranate tree and for the compliments. Hope you enjoy it for years to come! The Russian 26 in my own landscape has breezed right through 3 degrees F with no damage to the plant. That said, during the first couple winters, if the temperatures are forecast to drop below 10 degrees it would be a good idea to wrap and tie a blanket around the young tree until temps rise above 10 or 15 degrees. Also add some extra straw or wood mulch on top of the ground around the root system for insulation. Just remember to remove all but a 2-inch thickness of the the mulch in early spring. If it’s been real dry before severe cold temperatures hit soak the ground around the roots with water. This helps to form ice sheaths around the roots that serve as insulation. Keep us posted as to how your Russian 26 does there in Zone 6a of NJ and let us know if there’s ever anything else we can do for you. – Brent | Wilson Bros Gardens

Arrived very healthy and good size. It’s currently inside and doing very well. Already has new growth! Just waiting for snow to melt to plant it. ——————– WBG Reply: Hi Jennifer – Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review. Glad to hear your Russian 26 Pomegranate is leafing out nicely indoors. Even though this is a cold hardy pomegranate, think waiting for the snow to melt before planting it outdoors is a wise decision on your part. If you had planted it in your garden last year the tree would still be dormant now. So, to avoid temperature shock, it’s best to wait until all chances of frost have passed. Let us know if there’s ever anything else we can help you with. – Brent | Wilson Bros Gardens

Wilson Brothers are the BEST. Stay Away From (removed for legal purposes) Nursery. They Charged My Credit Card And sent nothing. After many Phone Calls and E-Mails I still have nothing from Them. After Placing an ORDER WITH WILSON BROS , THE POMAGRANETE TREES WERE HERE IN LESS THAN A WEEK And in the ground. ——————– WBG Reply: Thanks so much for your review, Dale. It was our pleasure to serve you and we’re glad you’re happy. We can assure you that what you experienced with the other nursery will NEVER EVER happen with Wilson Bros Gardens.

The pomegranate trees arrived in good condition and were much larger than expected, delivery was fast, we have planted ours in a protected area since we are at the lower end of the zone but so far plants seem to be doing well. looking forward to spring. ———————– WBG Reply: Thanks so much for your review, Christina. During the first couple years growing the Russian 26 Pomegranate there in OH, which is USDA Zone 6a, it’s probably a good idea to mulch a little heavier and, if temps are forecast to drop way below normal maybe wrap some sheets around the plants for insulation. Let us know if there’s ever anything else we can help you with. We’re at your service! – Brent | Wilson Bros Gardens

Everything about this purchase was fantastic. From the initial Q&A to fixing a cart issue to getting the plants. They were packaged better than any other plant I’ve bought online and I’ve bought quite a few. ——— WBG Reply: Hi HJ – We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to provide your review and are glad to hear you were pleased with the Russian 26 Pomegranates and everything else. We spent a good bit of time working on our packaging method to protect plants during transit. So far, so good. We see maybe 1 damage per 1,000 orders. That said we are always looking for ways to improve or make a system better. So, if you ever have any ideas we’re all ears! Thanks again – Brent Wilson | Wilson Bros Gardens

Came alive and quick. Couldn’t have asked for any better. Thanks

I was a little concerned because didn’t get any notification for a couple of days, but the customer service at Wilson Bros was very attentive and professional – everything followed as they said it will and the plant arrived on time. Packaging was perfect and the tree in excellent condition. They included some very useful instructions about planting and care. We’ll see how it will develop, but for now I’m very satisfied. I will recommend them to anyone and will by again from them. They look trustworthy.

Packaging was very good and the pomegranate bush arrived within 5 days of ordering. A little smallish for a 3 gallon size but it’s winter so no leaves yet. I hope Russian 26 is more cold hardy than the two other types of pomegranates I’ve lost to cold weather over the past two years. Wonderful Pomegranate is not hardy in Chattanooga! If this Russian 26 doesn’t make it I give up!

What else can I say? I haven’t planted it yet, but the tree I just received (3 gallon size) looks amazing. I also need to be sure to give some praise to the customer service team. They have been very friendly and responsive. I would happily recommend this company to others.

I am really satisfied with my purchase. The tree looked really healthy and good roots, fast delivery, packing was impeccable. Matter of fact, packing was done ensuring to protect this healthy plant. I was really impressed. Thank you very much! Meanwhile, my Russian Pomegranate is in our yard being really happy. Thank you so much!————————WBG Reply: Hi Walter, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Russian 26 Pomegranate we are so glad you are pleased with your purchase and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!
