"Amir and Hassan: Sultans of Kabul" is inscribed in the pomegranate tree. It is significant because the red pomegranates signify blood. Also, it's strange because it's the spot they always spend time together. That;s like their happy spot and Amir just starts pelting Hassan with pomegranates, wanting Hassan to hit him back.

This is significant because Hassan AGAIN proves his loyalty to Amir, and Amir is left feeling terrible again.
