I bought a pomegranate sapling in January 2015 at an Urban Harvest fruit tree sale at Rice University. When came time to plant in March, I cut back the tree to a foot-long stump, as directed, and planted it in the west front yard. I had to wait at least a month for a tiny bud to appear on the bare stick, and since then it has grown fine. In 2016, I saw a couple flowers on the tree, but no fruit yet as of January 2017.
