- Where are you? On the San Francisco Peninsula, we have dwarf
- pomegranates planted outdoors. They are deciduous, but the little
- pomegranates stay on the brown twigs like Christmas ornaments. I've
- never tried growing one as a house plant, so can't help any further
- there. If you have a mild climate, you might try leaving it outside
- except on very cold nights (well below freezing). Our bushes take
- cold down to 20 degrees F right in stride.
