Cold hardy pomegranate

…Moving the conversation about pomagranates over from a Citrus post.

I’m not familiar. I do have a friend who ripened pomegranates about 20-30 minutes from where I am without any sort of shelter or supplemental heat, but unfortunately since it was ‘Parfianka’ it dies back to the ground some years making it very unable to produce most years (I think he may have ripped his out after realizing its lack of hardiness). I haven’t personally ripped out my ‘Parfianka’ yet, but I think it’s had near full die back twice and I’m assuming it’ll just fizzle out on its own eventually.
