How old are these plants

Maybe 3 months very small .3 of them arrived healthy and are doing great . 1 arrived with two leaves and was dead within a week.

Will deer eat them if planted in unfenced area?

They might eat the leaves but don’t know about the fruit

How do you care for these plants? There were no instructions included and the listing just mentions type of potting soil and pots.

I planted mine in the ground, adding Happy Frog potting soil. This was last September. . .we had three different episodes of freezing temperatures which these plants survived, however, it stunted their growth. They are only about six inches tall and very spindly. They don't like over-watering, that is, standing in water, need good drainage.

Has anyone been able to grow this in zone 6 successfully?

I'm told I'm zone 6a and I'm told I'm 6b so idk which one but since I'm told 6b more often I go with that typically. I have had a Russian pomegranate (bought elsewhere) I have had for 2 winters. The first winter because it was still only a yr old I kept it in a sunny window in my daughter's basement that had one had a root cellar in it. That basement gets very very cold especially since heat rises and it's an over 100 yr old house. I watered it only when it was dry down to my knuckle. It did wonderful. It received its chill hours but lived. Last year I left it and my Chicago fig in they're pots on my front porch with a large folded flannel sheet for protection of the roots I only brought them inside on 2 or 3 different nights that it was exceptionally cold. I still put them in the coldest room in the house I definitely didn't want to chance breaking dormancy. The fig can actually sit in a dark cold garage without light while dormant. Any ways this year I have had the issue of the pomegranate being alive (per the cut test in which I see live green color under the bark) but seems like it wont break dormancy. Many "experts" I have reached out to that actually respond have said they agree it isn't breaking dormancy but have absolutely no suggestions as to what to do. One avid home gardener said the same happened to him but he just tried several things and wasn't sure what brought his out of it and that it might have broken dormancy the next growing season on it's own. Because I only had the 1 (I bought 1 1yr old plant from a seller on etsy) I just cringed and pruned all the above ground growth (I wouldn't be getting any fruit this year anyway the way things are going) I made 5 cuttings off what I cut off all the above ground parts and I'm trying to root those while hoping that the hard pruning pops it out of dormancy. My suggestion would be to keep it in a very cold area where it can recieve some light from a window or something the first 2-3 years. 3 to be on the safe side. But you do want to help acclimate it to your zone's winters. If you use grow lights you aren't going to want the plant to get too much heat. So technically it did survive the winter here but....
