About Pomegranate
Liquidambar styraciflua, or Sweetgum, is a valuable tree found in wet river bottoms, in swamps that frequently flood, and on drier uplands. It is often the bane of some homeowners' existence because of its troublesome fruit. It's a deciduous tree that may grow 80 to 120 feet tall with a diameter of 4 feet or more. It has a shallow root system and should be planted in spring.

How to fertilize Pomegranate
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Pomegranate after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Poor tree has been stuck inside all Winter. It's leaves were curled. I repotted, fertilized and put it outside in sun. Tree is very stressed by changes, but all the changes are theoretically things that should make it happy. Any tips to keep it alive? #Pomegranate

So I’ve had this dwarf Pomegranate bonsai for a few years now. It won’t leaf closer to its trunk and when it does bud it only develops its flowers and not the fruit. Any hints why?

Dead or going dormant? Bought a cold hardy #Pomegranate tree which is in sun all day and well watered. (We live in MA). Almost all the leaves have fallen off, although I do see a handful of new ones. Was going to repot to bring inside for the cooler months but not sure if it's still alive.

Received Pom as a house warming gift. As our first child we were unaware of how to prune. I suggest watching YouTube videos because it’s not complicated but it can be a bit complex.
Bugs are attracted to this tree. Make sure to buy fertilizer in order to produce fruit. Rich organic soil. Prepare to buy large container if not able to plant into ground. Does get pretty tall and wide.
I would buy a bug netting to protect it. Needs plenty of water and sun. Make sure to add mulch. Helps keep roots protected. Especially here in Florida .
Good luck!!
