1, single-handle round crown
Pomegranate trees have strong sprouting ability, and the tree shape is easy to be confused, which not only affects the appearance, but also affects the ventilation and light transmission, resulting in poor growth of pomegranate. Therefore, after the pomegranate seedlings we bought grow vigorously, we need to prune the pomegranate. One of the most common is the single-stem round-headed crown. So how do you trim it like this?
That is, in the seedling stage of pomegranate, it is not necessary to do too much pruning to let the pomegranate trunk grow. When the pomegranate trunk reaches a certain thickness, a certain height is left for modeling. Generally, 3~5 main branches with uniform thickness and reasonable angle can be left in early spring. Then cut off the useless branches below, and wait until next spring, then cut off these 3~5 main branches, leaving about 20~30cm. Promote these main branches to grow new lateral buds, and then the shape can be trimmed.
The crown with a single stem and a round head has better ventilation, and the tree shape is rounder and fuller, giving people a beautiful feeling as a whole, like a beautiful lollipop with many flowers and fruits.
2. Multi-stem tufted crown
What shape to prune pomegranate trees depends on the shape of pomegranate trees and the size of breeding grounds. What we are going to talk about now is the multi-stem cluster crown. Just by listening to the name, you can know that it is composed of multiple trunks, which gives people the impression that the plants are shorter and easier to control. Then how to prune such a tree?
If you want to prune pomegranate into onion-like clusters, that is, after the pomegranate grows to a certain height, top it to make it grow more lateral branches, and then cut off these lateral branches to make the lateral branches grow more lateral branches, giving people an impression of cluster crown shape. The shape of this tree is not layered, it is shorter and easier to manage.
3. Short flat crown
The short flat-headed crown is very suitable for pruning pomegranate seedlings cultivated on the balcony or living room, because this tree takes up less space, is in the branches when it blooms, and gives people a feeling of prosperity and celebration when it bears fruit. So how do you trim it into this shape?
In order to cut the pomegranate into a short flat crown, we can top it when the pomegranate tree is shorter, and then cut it when the branches grow to 8 to 10cm, so that the pomegranate tree can grow new branches again. If you want to trim into this short flat-headed crown, you need to let pomegranate trees grow many side branches, and then control the length of the branches and cut them to the same height, and the short flat-headed comb crown will come out.
What are the management methods of pomegranate seedlings after pruning?
1. Fertilization: After pruning pomegranate trees, we need pomegranate trees to grow new lateral branches, so we need to fertilize pomegranate trees. When we fertilize pomegranate trees, we can use nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium ternary fertilizer and bury it. When applying fertilizer, don't apply too much fertilizer at a time to prevent the fertilizer from burning the roots.
2. Watering: After pruning and fertilization, pomegranate seedlings need to be watered once, which can promote the absorption of fertilizer, make pomegranate grow better, and then grow more lateral branches. However, before the final modeling is realized, the unsightly measured values must be trimmed.
3. Plenty of sunshine: Pomegranate trees like plenty of sunshine, so after pruning pomegranate trees, we need to nurture them in plenty of sunshine, which will help pomegranate trees grow new lateral buds, and then make pomegranate trees flourish, blossom more and bear more fruits.
We bought pomegranate seedlings and learned three methods of pruning and modeling, which can make pomegranate trees more beautiful. Combined with later maintenance, pomegranate can blossom and bear fruit earlier.
