I miss my emperor pome and I can't find another. I would be thrilled with even a rooted cutting. If anyone has a lead please let me know.

It's probably the best suited for bonsai. Smallest leaves, tiny black (very dark purple) fruit, very twiggy growth. It's also a very dwarf variety. It's simply better in every way. It's just really rare and hard to find.

Emperor Pomegranate - Trees of Joy
Beautiful dwarf pomegranate that produces lots of flowers followed by deep purple/ black pomegranates. The fruit is a bit on the sour side but it can be used for juicing. This variety will make a great bonsai tree with the small leaves, small flowers and small fruit. It's a rare variety. Plant...

Brent used to sell it, but due to it not been cold hardy (in California) he lost the entire crop. Apparently he have a new mother tree but still no update on the for sale page.
There are other varieties to consider.

I used to wait every year to see if Brent would get more but never saw them available. I used to have many varieties and there truly are some pretty ones.

I may have to go this route. Thanks for the leg work. I was hoping to find just some little cuttings but this will work if not.Emperor Pomegranate - Trees of Joy

Yikes, they want $38.22 for shipping a 1 gal plant... That's a little prohibitive. Plus UPS dropkicks things...

Honestly if it’s within means I’d probably eat the $40…. but that sucks.

I bought one last year from Mr Maple.
Shipping prices are getting ridiculous.

I contacted them and they don't have any right now. Thanks!

I have been out of the game for a bit I guess! I don't think I ever charged anywhere near that. I know I sent Grimmy (RIP) a huge box with like a hundred plants and it was still less than that.

This is why I haven't ordered more trees. There are very few nurseries that actually charge you a reasonable fee. I think Brent is the only one so far that is still charging the same since I started ordering from him in 2019.
MrMaple used to be decent in charging shipping. Same size box in 2021 with two trees.
MrMaple and in 2022
Forest Farm shipping charges, since we are in summer, I have to pay the Air prices, I want to order a Liquidambar Burgundy Flush they have, not at that price.
Logee's have decent prices, but they don't have Emperor, they do have a "nana" variety.

Yeah I have a source for nana. I have to pick them up but I can get as many as I want. Brent is a gem. He's like a bonsai saint.
