Five years later, the pomegranate tree gradually entered the peak of fruiting, the tree body molding was basically completed, the crown tended to be stable, the growth and development were balanced, and a large number of fruits were produced. The main task of pruning is to remove redundant flourishing branches, excessively flourishing branches, excessively dense inward branches, drooping branches, crossed branches, diseased branches, dead branches and twigs. The crown is in the state of "three dense and three sparse", with dense bottom, dense outside and sparse inside. The inside is not empty, the scenery is transparent and the nutrition is concentrated, so that normal flowers, many fruits, many fruits and good fruits can be formed.

The short branches of pomegranate are mostly fruit-bearing branches, so it is necessary to keep these short branches and generally do not cut them short. In pruning, except for a few long branches and overgrown branches used for crown expansion, thinning is generally the main method.
