四合院里经常种着石榴，桃树和枣树。

I understand what it means as a whole, but I'm unsure about the usage of 种着 and how best to translate it other than saying, In the courtyards there are Pomegranate, peach and date trees.

Answer

“…着” means a kind of the condition. 
It lay stress on the condition rather than action.

for example，种着，停着，站着：

花园里种着许多花。
There are lots of flowers planting in the garden."

这儿停着一辆车。
There is a car parking here.

房顶站着一个人。
There is a man standing on the roof of flat.

Answer

"种着 "in this sentence is a  verb

Answer

种着，表示一种状态，也可以说成“有”。种着强调的是动作，有强调的是状态。

Answer

這是一句 "沒有被動標示(被,為...)" 也就是 "實質意義是被動的" 的被動句
同時 "著" 並非表示 動作的進行 而是表示 狀態的存續

Pomegranate, peach and date trees have been planted in the courtyards .
