How did I kill my bare-root Pomegranate

Las Cruces, NM(Zone 8a)

Last fall I ordered two bare-root Pomegranates from CA,..a "fruit nursery" through which I have ordered a number of fruit trees. Everything that we have gotten from the business has done very well,..except the pomegranates. The two bare-root plants never leafed out. Looked good when received,..cared for the same as other bare root trees, and put on a drip irrigation line. WHY were my Pomegranates a failure? Would like to re-order,...but very apprehensive. NOT possible to grow Pomegranates from bare root? (Pomegranates DO grow in our area).

San Francisco Bay Ar, CA(Zone 9b)

Have you tried contacting the nursery that supplied the trees? Perhaps they can help you trouble shoot the problem. If they are a reliable source, I'm sure they would want to help you be successful with their trees rather than lose you as a customer.
