Pomegranate trees ... stems much too skinny (I think)?

In a very romantic moment :O), my BF and I shared a pomegranate and then planted some of its seeds. Four of the seeds sprung up and when they were just ‘babies’ we took them outside and I think the sun killed them (they shriveled up and died).





A few weeks later, we tried again, and again, four sprung up in no time. The smallest is now about 8” tall, and the tallest is over a foot, however, although their leaves are beautiful, their stems are really thin and we have had to place sticks in their pots to keep them from falling over.





Does anyone know if this is normal? If so, when will they begin to develop a stronger stem? They are about (maybe) three or four months old.





Thanks!

You pomegranite plantlets seem to exhibit the classical signs of not enough light. You need to gradually intruduce them to stronger light and eventually direct sunshine. They naturally grow in areas of high temperature and hot sun, although they do need moisture to thrive and fruit well. Having said that you are unlikely to get any fruit in our climate, although goodness knows what might happen in another 20 years. If these fails try germinating the next batch in full light so that they don%26#039;t get leggy. When I lived in Spain we had several in the garden. With good watering I harvested several of over 1 lb, but not much flavour! Good luck.
