Owiebrain- with the pomegranate, it's a true desert plant. I would plant it in a cactus mix and keep it dry, dry, dry. The citrus like good drainage and not too much water, once established, although I've not ever grown them in pots. Not too much fertilizer but a bit of organic stuff. Mine get some chloriosis so I have to give them iron every once in awhile. Pomegranate likes an alkaline soil so they shouldnt need iron too often.
I haven't tried bananas, yet. I just bought some giant bird of paradise, which look like bananas but are ornamentals, growing to 15 feet and beautiful flowers for hummers.
I'm trying to sit on my hands and not plant too many perinniels this year, although my chard and kale act perinniel. I did plant strawberries and I'm going to bring them indoors this summer, under lights, because I was really late starting them. Next year, I should have a bumper crop of strawberries!
