The seed dispersal of pomegranates is mainly carried out by natural means but also by artificial means.
Natural propagation: When the fruit of a pomegranate ripensates, the peel becomes floppy and prone to cracking. When the fruit is fully ripe, the peel splits open and the seeds of the pomegranate are exposed. These seeds are then spread elsewhere by factors such as currents, animals, or wind. When the seeds have landed and found the right environment, they can take root and sprout into new pomegranate trees.
Artificially dispersed: To artificially propagate pomegranate seeds, the seeds need to be removed from the ripe pomegranate fruits, then washed and dried. Next, the seeds can be planted in suitable soil. To make the seeds easier to grow, the seeds can be soaked in warm water for a while before planting, which helps to promote the germination of the seeds. After starting to germinate, keep the soil moist and make sure to give enough sunlight to promote growth. Over time, the seed will sprout into a small seedling and eventually grow into a mature pomegranate tree.
In summary, the dispersal of pomegranate seeds can be carried out in natural ways, such as by water, animals or wind, or by artificial means, i.e. the seeds can be removed and planted in suitable soil with appropriate water, sunlight and care to promote seed germination and growth.
