pomegranate tree - do you have a tree, plant, have planted one?  

I had one before. But, I'm not sure where it goes now. I think someone had chopped it down. That too bad, because this fruit plant is quite rare nowadays. By the way, I hope your tree can grow well and if the fruits are ripe, don't forget to send me one!

I don't have any but I do believe that you might want to look into the pictures on Flickr :) It's a site where you can search for certain pictures and most of them are taken by "ordinary people".

Thanks for the response on my discussion!

Pomegranates are also a symbol for righteousness and fruitfulness.
The Greek myth of Persephone, the goddess of the underworld also prominently features the pomegranate. Persephone was kidnapped by Hades and taken off to live in the underworld as his wife. Her mother Demeter (Goddess of the Harvest,Mother Nature) went into the mountains to mourn her lost daughter and thus all green things ceased to grow. Zeus then had to take action to get his daughter returned to Earth so he sent Hermes down to Hades to make him release her. Hades grudgingly agreed but before she left he had her eat a pomegranate (or as some sources say the seeds of the pomegranate). It was the rule of the Fates that anyone who consumed any food or drink in the Underworld was doomed to spend eternity there. So as legend goes once Persephone ate 4 seeds from the Pomegranate and because of this she was condemned to spend 4 months in the Underworld every year. During these 4 months when Persephone is sitting on the throne of the Underworld next to her husband Hades, her mother Demeter mourns and no longer gives fertility to the earth. This became the Ancient Greeks explanation for the seasons.
