[Arid_gardener] Re: Watering Citrus and Pomegranates

For citrus, see Pub. 1151, "Irrigating Citrus Trees" at
http://cals.arizona.edu/pubs/crops/az1151.pdf

Pomegranates are more difficult; They don't need very much water but can also tolerate a fairr amount of water.  You need to water evenly at regular intervals to reduce the tendency of  the fruit to split which attracts the grey leaf-footed bug.  We water ours at three week intervals in spring through fall and not at all in the winter.

I have an ornamental citrus tree and a pomegranite tree in my backyard. What is recommended watering, fertilization and season for fruit bearing?  Thanks!
