Assuming a question and not a typo, it is Punica granatum 'Nana', a dwarf cultivar, classed as a shrub.

This was taken at about 4 metres in height(my back door), meant to be a shrub, but probably 70+ years old. I live at a place that was a orchard, the 'tree' has been there before there time. At the moment it is fighting the walnut trees.

Thanks wev for the pointers as to what it is. More research now.......[h=1][/h]

Yeah, there's a lot of gray area between trees and shrubs. Often the classification is given based on conditions in nature -- apple trees are actual rather low growing shrubs in the wild, but have been trained up, so to speak, as a food crop. Pomegranates are quite long lived and, left to their own devices, grow quite large.
