A few years on and our Pomegranate shrub, 7ft tall, has a number of

The winter killed mine.

A previous one killed mine - they are far tougher than the books
say, but definitely not hardy.

It also killed a small bay tree, a mature potato vine, the best part of
a peach tree and has severely cut-back my Brown Turkey

That's sad. How well does your soil drain? Of those, the only one
thap happened here was the last - and you don't kill a fig by cutting
it back hard!

I lost a thyme, hyssop and most of my ancient winter savory, but
they don't like wet.
