Pomegranate tree is a tropical to subtropical fruit that is an evergreen tree in coastal and humid areas, but a deciduous tree in dry areas with harsh winters. The pomegranate tree grows naturally in a wide range of climatic conditions, but the highest area under cultivation and economic production of pomegranate belongs to the marginal areas of the desert, with hot and dry summers. The pomegranate tree is sensitive to cold and is severely damaged by frosts below -15 ° C in winter, so pomegranates are forced to camouflage pomegranate trees. Older trees and sweet pomegranates are more sensitive to cold. Spring frost also causes the destruction of flowers, leaves and young branches of pomegranate. One of the valuable features of pomegranate tree is its flexibility to different types of soil and salinity. Pomegranate can be grown in a variety of soils from sandy to loamy and even saline soils, but the pomegranate tree needs well-drained soil with medium clay texture for optimal growth.
