I started a pomagrante from seeds and it is about 6 inch now, and hasn't grown any new leaves since before Dec. I know there is supposed to be a dormancy period but what temps can it go down to? and how long do i keep it at that temp. Could i put it in a fridge to keep it cool or would that be to cold?

I'm in zone 5 here in Ohio and my plant dropped its leaves and did absolutely nothing all winter. It is now pushing out new growth. I'd just be patient and leave it alone. If it is still green beneath the bark, then it will start pushing soon.
