Certified ExpertA.Your pomegranate needs eight to ten hours of full sun every day. Have you pruned it regularly? Pomegranates grow their flowers on new growth, so your bush may need pruning. Here is a link for several articles about how to grow healthy pomegranates (scroll down past the ads for the articles from Gardening Know How):

Certified ExpertA.From the photo, it appears that the tree is actually in bloom, and does set blooms. This would mean that the reason your tree is not fruiting will be a more complex issue.
If this is from seed, and not cutting, then this may be your issue. Most pomegranate seeds will not breed true. Some don't fruit well, and some won't fruit at all. This will be the importance of grafting to a known fruit producing type or taking a cutting from the original tree.
For now, this article will address some common issues that will prevent fruit production: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/pomegranate/no-pomegranates-on-trees.htm

MontréalQ.My Pomegrenate Seedling Isn\’t Doing Well
Hello, I planted a pomegrenate seed and it was growing well, but recently the leaves started going yellow and tiny. I water it once a week and it stays all day in the sun.

Certified ExpertA.It appears to be in a seed starting mix, with very little nutrients. I would get that into some potting soil mixed with compost.

Certified ExpertA.Your tree may have a fungus.You should inspect the branches that have died and, perhaps, take a sample to your local extension service agent.

August 28, 2020Q.planting a fruit tree
I've grown pomegranate trees in pots and they are (I believe) ready to plant in my yard. I live in zone 9 (texas) and it is still hot. When can I replant these trees (2) and any helpful advice to guarantee the survival will be greatly appreciated.

Certified ExpertA.You will want to wait until the weather cools down in the fall to transplant your pomegranates. Make sure your soil is slightly alkaline with a pH ranging up to 7.5. I'm including links for three articles that will help you with this project. The articles cover transplanting practices, fertilization for pomegranates and how to get your trees through the winter. I hope these help.

September 20, 2020Q.How can you tell when Pomegranates are ripe?
I have a pomegranate tree with plenty of fruit on it. The fruit started showing up in late July and early August. The fruit doesn't look as if it is ripe yet. The color of the fruit is still green or very light pink. How long does it take the fruit to ripen and how can you tell?

Certified ExpertA.When the crown leaves turn inward, it's a good signal that the fruit's become ripe. It should feel heavy and the skin should be shiny and smooth. Here's an article that will help. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/pomegranate/harvesting-pomegranate-fruit.htm
