Pomegranate Saplings Dead?

I have 4 pomegranate saplings which had sprouted in January of 2012. I had gone on a trip that summer for around 10 days and did not water them. I came back and some leaves were yellowing, but they still did well during the rest of the summer. The leaves fell off during the autumn, and I did not water them often during the winter (I did occasionally, like when I remembered and such). The leaves did not come back this spring, and I'm wondering if they are goners.

I live in Zone 5a and they are planted in a pot indoors. Could it be because I need to transplant them into a larger pot (since there ARE 4 in a single pot that is about 10 inches in diameter), or are they dead? I did do the cork cambium test, which was scratching the bark to see if the cambium was green and thus the saplings alive, and it was green.
