    Spring is the best time for planting, but it's important to wait until after the last frost date. You may need to keep the tree in your shed for two or three weeks, and it should be fine if you don't let it dry out.

    If you aren't sure of your last frost date, you can call your local cooperative extension office and they will be glad to help. This will help you determine the location of your nearest office: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/extension-search/

    Judging by the photo, this was likely a sucker that was allowed to grow and fully develop. You will probably want to consider removal because it looks like it is already leaning to grow away from the two main trunks and, by removing it, more energy will be expended on your two main trunk trees.

    I would agree that this is a punica granatum nana, or dwarf pomegranate.
    They generally do stay in the 3 to 4 ft height, but it is possible to grow to 6 ft.

    I would prune it back if your wanting to keep the plant to a smaller size for your garden space.
    Pruning late winter or spring would be best, before the plant starts to grow.

    Pomegranates can thrive in large pots and will fruit so long as they are in a suitable environment.

    It looks like your pomegranate might be afflicted with insect pests, most likely thrips or aphids. More information on these pests,and recommended treatments, can be found here:

    Pomegranate trees are self-fruitful so you only need one tree.
