Plant in full sun with well-drained soil. Pomegranates thrive in warm, dry climates but tolerate a wide range of soils, including sandy and rocky ground. Water regularly during establishment, then deeply but infrequently once mature. Prune in late winter to open the canopy and encourage fruiting wood. Hardy in USDA Zones 7–10, making Afganski one of the best choices for growers in cooler regions. Expect fruit in 2–3 years from planting.
