If Wonderful were picked before it was ripe, it would have softer seed and less flavor. But by now it would also have been stored for awhile and some older...
Harvey, the seeds from the Costco pomegranates are only a bit harder than my Eversweet (which is sweet but very bland). If it is Wdonderful, I will probably...
Thanks for confirming my opinion that Eversweet is sweet but bland. Eversweet does reasonably well in some pomegranate taste tests but I have no idea why. ... ...
We talk about retiring somewhere else alot , currently in west virginia USA(not that we will be able to afford it when the time comes) S.O. has that seasonal...
Does anyone on this list have an opinion about the flavor of Eversweet Pomegranates? It may be the only one that will ripen up here, but some have told me that...
Hi John Did you ever consider growing PGs in northern zones under PE cover during spring and summer as to get more heat units ? I may add that PGs in your...
John, Mike Nave and some other members have said recently and in years past that their Eversweet fruits are flavorless. I believe my Eversweet is a plant...
John, I agree with Harvey. I think you should give Eversweet a try. It it has done fairly well in more than one taste test so it may very well have different...
I was looking at a great image posted by Edgar Valdivia showing the many varieties of pomegranates that John Chater has introduced. Does anyone have or know...
I don't know much about them, but do see Blaze on the repository list but Chater was his last released and it's not there. From comments I've gathered from...
I just remembered I uploaded the photos Edgar sent to our group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PomWorldwide/photos/album/119502749/pic/list. This is sort...
I've uploaded two more photographs tonight. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PomWorldwide/photos/album/119502749/pic/1603287406/view is a scanned copy of the CRFG...
Thanks for the pictures Harvey. It would be nice to see if any CRFG members have these uknown/ missing varieties. It would be nice to establish a collection of...
There has been a trend recently to idolize Chater's work, but I don't know why. I bought 3 of his cultivars while he was still alive and have removed all of...
Hi Michael, Don't forget that John Chater started his work with the pomegranates over 40 years ago. At that time little attention was being placed on that...
Hi Edgar, I am very familiar with Chater's work. For all of his work, I have never eaten a good Chater pom. I haven't tried all of his varieties and I look...
Here is the post I referred to earlier where David Silverstein shared his thoughts on the Wolfskill tasting held in November 2007. David has been to...
All good points, but the problem with Eversweet is simply the lack of flavor, which is basically the same problem Ambrosia has. They both taste like sugared...
The couple of Ambrosia I ate from my plants surprised me since I was expecting such an experience based on your prior comments but I thought it had a fairly...
Thanks, Bill, this is very interesting. I was unaware that pomegranates were significant in any way in Brazil. Also, I'm trying to recall if I might have any...
Don't you remember back in chemistry class when you sprinkled metal salts on the flame to get colored fire? Â Boric acid crystals make green, strontium...
... Harvey ... All that stuff is buried in there somewhere Harv. You need to relax. Go blow something up. Maybe a tree stump...? Epsom Salts; as in, NPK, macro...
Hello, My first attempt to address the Pom Group. Hi all. I've got a simple question---in college, I took a class on Post Harvest Physiology, and we discussed...
Hello Bruce, I've read at http://postharvest.ucdavis.edu/Produce/ProduceFacts/Fruit/pomegranate.shtml that pomegranates are non-climateric but have also heard...
They definitely change after harvest but I don't think they ripen. They slowly start to decay and for awhile that may result in changes in color or flavor. ......
Hi fellows The PG storage and fruit degardation depends on the variety, time of harvest of each variety, storage container size and type of cold storage There...
