I'm new to North Florida (Jacksonville) anyone if I can successfully grow Pomegranate Trees that give fruits?

I live in Saint Johns, right below Jax, and my next door neighbor has a tree that bears good sized fruit. There were only a few on the tree but I know they do not fertilize or prune their plant material and the fruit dropped to the ground and was left to rot. Sad

Welcome xpro, you will find lots of good info and helpful folks here.

I saw one in Clermont Florida, the fruit was abundant but not as large as the pomegranates that you see in the grocery stores or out west.

There is also a smaller pomegranate called Nana. I have one and it survives the winters in this zone, delivering pomegranates. In fact, the cold helps to ripen them in my experience.

That is probably what I saw, the owner of the tree said it does well with some cooler weather.

The one next door is about 8' and very bushy, I guess that could be considered a dwarf. The fruit was smaller than what you would buy in a store. it was about 3.5". I was dying to ask if I could take one since they were not eating them but I am still new here and didn't want to seem too pushy. Also, I am not sure if they use any chemicals, it is out in a grassy area.
