Pomegranate Blooms Falling? It's a Pollination Problem

If your pomegranate blooms drop without setting fruit, pollinators are likely scarce. Pomegranates need insect pollination. Plant pollinator magnets nearby: perennial salvia, zinnias, bee balm, rosemary. Or hand-pollinate with a small brush or cotton swab, transferring pollen between flowers in the morning. Both strategies can dramatically increase fruit set.
