The pomegranate I bought 2 years ago stayed in the nursery pot until Feb, 2010. Last spring it had a few blooms on it, but that was it. This year it is getting much fuller, but no blooms at all. How many years does it take until it fruits?
I empathize with your frost problems as we had so much more here this year too. We are in the open, with homes farther apart. Things I thought were dead (salvia, lantana, cape honeysuckle and cannas) have all been coming back. Oddly, the petunias bloomed all winter!
