1, thinning in spring
When we cultivate pomegranate, we can prune it all year round, because pomegranate trees have strong germination ability and are resistant to pruning. If the management is neglected, the branches will grow in vain, the plant shape will be unsightly, and the flowering will be reduced or done less. How to prune in spring?
Pruning management: Pruning pomegranate in spring, usually around May, is mainly about thinning flowers and proper branches. If the pomegranate blooms too much, it needs to be thinned, and removing some flowers that bloom too much can reduce the loss of nutrients.
At the same time, cutting off too dense, slender and weak branches can not only reduce the loss of nutrients, but also play a role in ventilation and light transmission, making pomegranate grow bigger and more ruddy.
2. Prune branches and fruits and vegetables in summer.
Pruning pomegranate in summer, mainly pruning the overgrown branches and thinning the fruit properly, can prevent the occurrence of big and small years and reduce the loss of nutrients in the branches. How to manage pruning in summer?
Pruning management in summer: We prune pomegranate in summer, mainly to prune branches that grow too vigorously, to prevent nutrient loss, and also to increase ventilation and light transmission. Also, we can lengthen branches that grow too high, which is not only beneficial to make trees short and strong, but also convenient for us to manage.
Fruit thinning is mainly to cut off the pomegranate that is too dense to prevent pomegranate from bearing more fruits this year and less fruits next year. There is also cutting off the diseased pomegranate and leaving the healthy pomegranate.
3. Pick fruits and cut long branches in autumn.
Pruning pomegranate in autumn mainly means pruning pomegranate and pruning some long branches to prevent nutrient loss. How to trim in autumn?
Autumn Pruning Management: After the pomegranate matures in autumn, we can pick the ripe pomegranate. Don't let the pomegranate grow too long. It is usually picked before winter to prevent pomegranate branches from growing into fruit branches in the coming year.
After picking the pomegranate, you can cut off the branches that grow too long, so that it can be ventilated and make the pomegranate plant more beautiful.
4. A lot of shearing in winter
Pruning pomegranate in winter is very important, because heavy pruning is mainly carried out in winter, that is, some large branches are cut off for ventilation and light transmission, plant type adjustment, and leaves bloom and bear branches. How do you trim it?
Winter pruning: winter pruning is mainly to shorten or remove the overgrown branches in time, properly retain the malnourished branches and remove the overgrown and aging branches. That is to say, let the big branches and the upper and outer branches be sparse and the lower, inner and small branches be dense, which is what people often say. Although the branches inside are dense, ventilation and light transmission should be well managed, so the trimmed branches need to be uniform.
Also, when pruning in winter, we should leave full and strong vegetative branches, remove old branches and overgrown branches, or carry out appropriate pruning to promote the branches to grow into vegetative branches so as to blossom and bear fruit next year.
We prune pomegranate trees mainly for better ventilation and light transmission, fuller and rounder plant shape, and the long pomegranate is big and red. And pomegranate can be eaten every year. As long as you do a good job of pruning and management all year round, you can make pomegranate grow better. For pomegranates that only bloom but do not bear fruit, they can be pruned once every three years, and the old branches and branches that grew three years ago should also be pruned, so that pomegranates can grow more lateral branches and then bloom more beautiful flowers.
