Well well! My Sumbar tree (sourced from Planting Justice in Oakland, planted in 2022), flowered this spring amd set fruit!
Unfortunately, we moved from pur house in July. I passed by in September and there were over a half dozen beautiful heavy fruits on the tree, but I had no camera.
I had the chance to visit the tree in early January. The current inhabitants never picked the fruit! There were some mostly-rotted fully ripened fruits on the ground, though... I am so happy and also sad about the whole affair. I took some cuttings, so I hope they root out! Fingers crossed!

I find that pomegranate cuttings are usually easy to root. If you have at least 3 cuttings, then worst case scenario would be that 1 would root successfully out of 3.
