Aha!  So my 10+ year old pomegranate that never bore fruit is probably a 
Japanese variety which I will enjoy simply for the beauty of it's bloom.
I am certainly not as experienced as many in this discussion but if you have 
enough cuttings I would love to participate and learn from the experience. 
Any advice would be appreciated as well.
