When pruning pomegranate trees in winter, you should first cut off the branches that are growing thin and have been infected by diseases and insect pests. This can not only reduce nutrient consumption, but also avoid the spread of pests and diseases again.

Then cut off the overly dense branches and overlapping branches on the main trunk and side branches to promote better ventilation and light transmission inside. It is best not to shorten the branches significantly during winter pruning. Just cut the long branches appropriately, otherwise it will affect the flowering and fruit setting in the coming year.

Pay attention to the timing when pruning pomegranate trees in winter. It is recommended to do it after the trees have fallen leaves and before the branches sprout, so that it will not affect its winter or hinder the germination of the next year. Extended information

Notes

1. No matter when pruning is performed, make sure that the wound at the pruning port is flat. Sharp knives must be used for pruning and must be disinfected before use to avoid wound infection.

2. After pruning, provide a well-ventilated and suitable environment, and resume management after the wound has healed.

3. When pruning pomegranate trees in winter, it is best not to cut them drastically, otherwise it will easily lead to less flowering and low fruit setting rate in the coming year.
