First, one of the two trees is progressing wonderfully and filling out, etc.
The other is not. I intend to see what happens over the winter and may be contacting you about your guarantee at that time. My only problem, besides that is that it too over a year for you to fill the order. I understand your problems with the suppliers and all but maybe you should wait to advertise a product until you can deliver it.

Description
About the Sirenevyi Pomegranate
The Sirenevyi Pomegranate Tree is another cold-hardy winner from the renowned research station of Dr. Gregory Levin in Turkmenistan. This extraordinary variety showcases stunning, speckled fruit with vibrant colors, transitioning from pink to red to tan, and dark red, almost purple arils. With its soft seeds and a sweet, almost spicy flavored juice, the Sirenevyi is a delight.
This pomegranate tree blooms in June and July, gracing your garden with vibrant flowers. As fall arrives, the anticipation builds as the fruit ripens to perfection, resulting in a bountiful harvest. Enjoy them fresh, juiced, or in salads and baked goods.
At maturity, the Sirenevyi Pomegranate reaches an impressive height of 10-12 feet, making it an eye-catching focal point in your garden. Its prolific yield is another reason to love this variety, with each tree producing over 20 pounds of luscious pomegranates, mid-to-late season.
How to Grow the Sirenevyi Pomegranate Tree
Scientifically known as Punica granatum, Sirenevyi requires full to half-day sun exposure and well-drained soil to flourish. Its adaptability allows it to excel in a variety of growing conditions. Moreover, this self-fertile tree starts bearing fruit a mere one to two years after planting, ensuring you won’t have to wait long to indulge in its fresh fruits!
One of the remarkable traits of the Sirenevyi Pomegranate Tree is its cold hardiness, a characteristic shared by many of Dr. Levin’s Russian varieties. Hardy to 5º F or below and thriving in zones 7-10, with success in protected areas of zone 6. This tree defies the odds and proves its resilience.
The Sirenevyi is resistant to most pests and diseases. Pomegranates are generally unaffected by these common garden challenges, giving you peace of mind and less maintenance. It is also self-fertile. With its exceptional beauty, remarkable flavor, and unwavering hardiness, this tree is a must-have for any garden enthusiast.

My Hardiness Zone
?
The USDA hardiness zones offer a guide to varieties that will grow well in certain climates. Each zone corresponds to the minimum winter temperatures experienced in a given area. Make sure that your hardiness zone lies within the zone compatibility range of this variety before ordering.
This item can be grown in colder climates if it's planted in a container and brought indoors during the winter months. If you're planting it outdoors in the ground, we recommend being within the outdoor zone range.
Pollination
This variety is self pollinating.
In many cases, you may still want to plant pollinating partners to increase the size of your crops, but with self-pollinating varieties doing so is optional. You'll get fruit with only one plant!

Why did you choose this?
Are the roots of a pomegranate tree aggressive.? Will the roots hurt water/sewer lines?
Pomegranate trees (Punica granatum) generally have non-aggressive root systems. They are relatively shallow-rooted compared to larger trees like oaks or willows, and their roots typically don't pose a significant risk to water or sewer lines. However, as with any tree, roots will naturally seek out water sources, so if there are existing cracks in pipes or sewer lines, the roots could potentially infiltrate those areas over time.
Key points about pomegranate roots:
Root depth: Pomegranate roots tend to stay shallow, typically growing within the top 2 feet of soil.
Non-invasive: The roots are not considered aggressive, especially when compared to species known for invasive roots (e.g., willows or bamboo).
Planting distance: As a precaution, it’s advisable to plant any tree, including pomegranates, at least 10-15 feet away from water or sewer lines.
While it's unlikely that pomegranate trees will cause issues, planting them a safe distance from utility lines can help avoid potential problems, especially if the pipes are old or damaged.
Do these Sirenevyi need protection in zone 6? How old is the one you are offering?
Yes they will need winter protection is a zone 6 and they are 2 years of age at shipping.
How "well-drained" should the soil be? The spot I'm thinking of putting this is near a ditch, so the ground isn't saturated, but it does tend to pool up in periods of heavy rain.

Interesting fruit
I've always wanted a pomegranate tree to eat my own pomegranates
Was surprised I could possibly grow pomegranates in my area. Have had terrific luck with Stark Bros. in the past.
First time ordering this fruit tree. The description listed peaked my curiosity . Looks to be perfect for my growing area. Time to add verity to our orchard of fruit trees.
