Maybe This Year, a Pomegranate

Pomegranate FlowerTwo flowers so far this year, and perhaps one will grow up to become an actual fruit?  The plant has been in the ground for three or four years, and it sort of fruited last year, producing a few flowers and one fruit about the size of a golf ball, with perhaps a dozen or so of the seeds (surrounded by their juicy arils) inside.

As with most annuity crops, patience is required.  If the experiment succeeds and the plant begins to fruit regularly, pomegranate just might earn a place among the food forest denizens.  Time will tell.
