Pomegranate dwarf tree
After almost three years of nurturing, watering, repotting and babying, our dwarf pomegranate looks like it is ready to bare fruit. Within a few months the tart seeds and sweet juice will be ours to delight in.
We’re not sure how we’re going to eat it all … we should probably share, though. And not eat it all at once. Take our time, share, and appreciate.
Lemon tree
Our dwarf lemon tree is doing great. At two years-old, it’s growing rapidly and should produce fruit next year.
I cannot imagine it holding lemons, but if that’s what it is designed to do, that’s what it will do!
Banana tree
As you can see, the banana tree has been much fussier in its atmosphere preference. It didn’t thrive in the dining room, so I moved it next to the heater, under the main window. It is looking much better. The banana tree requires watering about once every three weeks, where the pomegranate once every two days. The other two, however, need watering once every three or four days.
I look forward to the cute little dwarf bananas that should produce next year.
Coffee tree
Last, but not least, our coffee tree. Country Man and I are equally excited for this to bear beans next year. Hindsight, though, we should have bought more of these if we really wanted to make our own coffee. The problem is a lack of space, so maybe some day in the future.
We’d love to sip on our own ground beans as we read before we begin our day. I can picture it already …
May the fruits of our labor be abundant, bearing and delicious!
What a great way to soften a harsh winter! I had no idea you could have an indoor pomegranate tree or an indoor coffee tree. I’m anxious to hear how the fruits of both turn out!
I would love to have indoor fruit trees…just not sure they would survive..THE BOYS!
Did you order your plants or get them locally?
We ordered these through the Gurney website. We’ve had great response with them!
You certainly have a green thumb:) Lovely plants, good luck with them.
it’s awesome that you have such a wide variety of food growing in your home. I hope they all bear fruit for you soon.
also, I love to see the pups lounging around, each with their own pillow underneath them. Cadie does that too, and it always makes me laugh
ah fruit trees.. a true test in patience. We had an orchard at my parents.. all dwarf size trees. I was not old enough to really appreciate it until I left home. Marrying a man who loves fruit helped too.. Maybe one day I will have one, no space for plants in the place we’re in now. One day…
Oh my goodness, this is amazing! I can’t even imagine waiting 3 years before my work paid off. I think I’m going to be anxious this spring when I have to wait a couple of months for the things I plant to grow, haha! Kudos to you guys!
You are very enterprising!
BTW, you can freeze the seeds of the pomegranate for up to a year. The fruit itself can be kept in the refrigerator for two months.
I hope that we can grow a kumquat inside someday but I had never thought about pomegranate, yummy.

There’s something about growing plants (both inside and out) that teaches you patience…it helps you be more grounded (ooh…gives you roots…that’s good). You learn to notice, and appreciate, the little things.
Your plants are gorgeous! Looking forward to seeing more.
Oh the photos are just a delicious little burst of sunshine on a cold winter’s day; great idea, didn’t know this could be done. How fun!

Beautiful garden in your house! Fresh fruit of any kind sounds delicious right now in the middle of winter. Hope everything tastes as wonderful as they look.
I think I’ve asked before, but, what do you do with your pommegrate tree? Prune? Fertilize? I managed to bring mine back from near death, but it’s very thin and dry. The green-thumb in me needs help…
I love that you have a garden inside your house! I would like to do something like this, but I’m a total black thumb.
Great idea. I hope you’ll post on their progress again. I love that you have a coffee tree.
Swooning over the pomegranate tree…I want one! But I wouldn’t know where to put it in our little apartment
.
will you come to my house and grow me a pomegranate? it’s amazing, how skilled you are with plants!

I love your indoor garden! I also didn’t know that one can grow pomegranate and coffee trees indoors. You really do have a green thumb.
I love plants, but I live in the small apartment in the middle of the desert, so there’s no space and the weather only permits one to grow aloe vera or cacti
Oh, and thank you so much for visiting and commenting on my blog. Have a great week ahead!

Wow! This is a dream of my fruit trees in my house. It is possible.
You are an inspiration.
Thank you
