Only pomegranates, I'm afraid.


Shucks. Beat me to it :-)

A pomegranate makes a good patio plant, and mine seems to be fairly
hardy. The mild frosts we have had in the past 5 years haven't
worried it, and have got down to -10 Celcius briefly. It is also
very drought resistant, though it respond by dropping its leaves.
I have not get got it to flower, but it has very attractive flowers
in hotter climates.

You won't get fruit in this miserable climate. It needs a LOT more
heat and sun than we get.
