These farmers found a way to grow new pomegranate trees without planting a single seed. Farmers gently bend a branch and bury part of it in a pot of soil without cutting it from the tree. Soon it grows its own roots and becomes a whole new plant for free. But the clever part doesn’t stop there. When the pomegranates start to form, a small hole is pierced at the base of each fruit. This reduces internal pressure and prevents cracking. Then each fruit is wrapped in a soft cloth. This thin layer keeps bugs away, protects the skin, and boosts flavor.

That's not base of a fruit.
This planting technique is called air layering
This wont always work, some trees are grafted and the shoots at the base are from the sire tree
You could graft onto i if you wanted too tho, so not all is lost
This is entirely fake try it then AI has ruined the world all the dumbasses that’s going to believe this video is pitiful fuck AI
This skill has been passed through the hands of several generations of farmers. Thanks to the ancestors for guiding this generation
.
Me at 10, I need to remember this.
Pomegranate isn't a tree it's a bush
Merci vraiment
In the US, some farmers are scrambling for workers because of the ICE raids.
Wow 😅
It's called layering
Good tips! I’ve been trying, unsuccessfully, to propagate my pomegranate tree. The fruits often split before they’re ripe.
Yeah you can do that to just about every plant in existence not just pomegranates
It's called air layering
Nice idea to transplant
I like to know more about the drilling part to stop splitting.
Can someone explain the drilling part of this video. Size of the drill and how deep
Chinese think they discovered this method..lol..it's been around for centuries..
this doesn't boost flavor lol Chinese fruits are literally tasteless they need to sto messing with nature
Messy, high maintenance tree. Attracts many, many bugs.
Nothing new about that. People have been air layering for hundreds if not thousands of years, and that's not cloth, it's paper.
Ai
genius
wonder if this can be done with different tree
That's literally a common grafting practice probably all around the world…
Wow!!! 👌❤️
Brilliant
Me grandfather was growing every new fruit tree like this.
Nice the world needs good brain's 🧠.s😅 a bad brain 🧠 not 🚭🚫 a good brain 🧠.😮. 9/2/2025 Tuesday morning 7:15 Am Texas's time.😅
That’s we todd did.
In Spain and Portugal at the street you'll see lots of pomegranate even at the park i pick them and I try its sweets. .😊
If you paused at specific parts. They tied pomegranates to the tree.
grafting
Such beautiful trees! 😍
This is a form of air layer
Another version of air layering. Usually, they cut the bark for roots to grow. Does anyone know if they cut the bark in this method?
