Anybody grow pomegranates?

I'm working on planting a small orchard at our new place. There is about a 2 acre patch near our house that already has a mature pear tree and a small fig. I planted my 3 fig trees (which I had been growing in pots at the old apartment). I plan to add a couple of plums, peaches, and maybe one day even grapevines.

One of the fruits I am particularly interested in growing are pomegranates. I love the fruits, and the juice is awfully expensive at the grocery store. I know they will grow around here. When I was a kid a little boy across the street had a tree in his backyard, and I remember lots of stained lips and t-shirts when the fruits were ripe

Does anyone here grow them? I'd like some tips, as well as a good source for the trees. I was really young when our neighbor had the tree, but I don't recall them really having to do much with it.

Any tips would be appreciated!
