- It should not be exposed to temperatures colder than 10 degrees C (about 45-50 F)...
-
- According to my books, if you want flowers/fruit DO NOT prune after spring growth
- even though the tree begins to look stingy or gangly. Trim and prune *hard* after
- flowering/fruit process is done to regain the desired compact appearance.

- (I don't have experience with the pomegranate, I looked it up in two texts.)

- Good luck!
