Hi Kristi, yes granatum species and some cultivars are hardy here. I have to keep mine in container culture because the lack of sunny spot in the garden which aids their flowering and fruiting process. In containers, I move them indoor for fear their roots mass may be frozen being above ground during our mild winter. As far as its edibility? I think they're nice to have for ornamental, I tried another draft variety fruit, such as this one (inset pic.) It's a little too tart for my taste buds.

The largest fruit belongs to another draft variety of granatum. The smaller ones are those of 'Alhalbra'. I picked those dried out fruits off a few days ago.
