I will put you down for a cold hardy variety. Do you work with rooting 
cuttings or will you need a plant (the plants are very limited)? The 
cuttings are very easy to root if you have light, bottom heat and a little 
humidity. What hardiness zone are you in? It will determine the best 
variety. Your pomegranate is not nessarily a Japanese as some US fruiting 
varieties will not set fruit in mild climates, but it probably is Japanese 
if it has lots of flowers. Thanks for your interest, let me know.
