The pomegranate is native from Iran to the Himalayas in northern India and was cultivated and naturalized over the whole Mediterranean region since ancient times. It is widely cultivated throughout India and the drier parts of southeast Asia, Malaya, the East Indies and tropical Africa. The tree was introduced into California by Spanish settlers in 1769. In this country it is grown for its fruits mainly in the drier parts of California and Arizona.
Pomegranates prefer a semi-arid mild-temperate to subtropical climate and are naturally adapted to regions with cool winters and hot summers. A humid climate adversely affects the formation of fruit. The tree can be severely injured by temperatures below 12° F. In the U. S. pomegranates can be grown outside as far north as southern Utah and Washington, D.C. but seldom set fruit in these areas. The tree adapts well to container culture and will sometimes fruit in a greenhouse.

Not really. It is not in zone 5 planting area which is pretty much where Chicago falls. You can take off like the rest of the chickens who go south in the winter and plant the pomegranite there.

Earth trees have developed in Earthlike situations for an fairly long term. in case you plant a tree on Mars, it is going to die. The soil has pollutants in it, and a distinctive distribution of meals. The temperatures are chilly, to which maximum plantlife may well be incapable of advance... at ultimate, it ought to proceed to be dormant permenently if all different components have been conductive to tree existence... yet they don't seem to be. Mars' has an fairly skinny ecosystem, there would not be adequate CO_2 for the trees to proceed to exist. much less image voltaic radiation won might propose those trees might want to be genetically adapted to decrease stages of image voltaic for photosynthesis to ensue. and of path, the actual kick interior the butt... Mars lacks a magnetosphere and an ozone layer. right here in the worldwide, maximum lifeforms might perish with out one, or the different, or the two. On Mars, the UV radiation might tarnish DNA molecules... something organic and organic in compound might visit pot because of the radiation, because of the shortcoming of protection that the Martian ecosystem provides. (facet word) There are some extremeophile micro organism right here in the worldwide that ought to in all probability proceed to exist Mars-like situations. maximum 'terraforming' proponents want to apply those, alongside with some species of algae to do what you propose... however the themes proceed even previous that...

I have a miniature in my greenhouse, also, I live in Zone 5, the same as you. That's the only way. I have been able to get mine to set fruit, but it took a lot of work. It's not for the faint-hearted.

That sounds tropical, I don't think so. We are in zone 5 in Chicago.

It is possible to plant pretty much anythng anywhere. Getting it to grow and fruit is another story.

You can plant it if you want to. But don't expect it to live long.
