The discussion of pomegranates is very interesting to me. I live in the hills (700 ft elevation) above Vancouver, Washington (USDA zone 8-) and have been trying to grow 'Wonderful' for the last 9 years. We have a southern exposure and a very sheltered location. While the plant seems hardy, grows well and produces a moderate amount of blossoms, we only get a 5-8 very small to mid-sized pomegranates. The blossoming is very late as compared with our peaches and apples. The Asian/Middle-eastern pomegranates under discussion may blossom earlier or have a shorter growing, either of which might allow me to grow them here successfully. I would greatly appreciate any information on obtaining some of these varieties to test here. Thanks you.
