Im very new to this garden thingy so please bare with me. If it helps, i live in Socal in Northern San Fernando Valley. Thanks

| Pomegranate |
|
| It clearly is not a pomegranate; looks kinds like a Brunsfelsia (yesterday, today, and tomorrow common name) Google Brunsfelsia and "yesterday, today, and tomorrow. |
|
| This is a pomogranate leaf that i found online and its pretty similar. |

| I would also vote Pomegranate - red petioles, right kind of lenticels on bark, right leaf shape and growing in a position which could well be the result of a stray pip. The bush is a bit gangly probably due to its position. You could try the Name that Plant Forum for a second opinion. My Brunfelsia doesn't look like this. |

| Well, I am not expert; but I do have several pomegranates at my farm and Brunfelsias in all my gardens... they look exactly like your fotos. For reference here is a foto of a pomegranate.
And here is a foto of a Brunfelsia
Decide for yourself; it is of no importance to me. |

| Definitely not Brunfelsia. Brunfelsia has alternate leaves and Pomegranate are opposite. Plus Pomegranate has angled twigs, different leaf shape and size and different veination pattern. These all support the first identification. I think the reason you are confused is due to that fact that juvenile plants have slightly different leaf morphology (larger leaves) than mature specimens (as the one you provide).. |
