The shape of pomegranate whole plant is suitable for natural joy, and it can be pruned according to its habit of branching and flowering. After a period of time, all the new branches that did not bloom in that year stopped growing, and the top bud and several lateral buds at the top began to differentiate into mixed buds to form fruiting branches, preparing for the fruiting branches in the next year. Such fruiting branches should be kept as much as possible and not cut off; Under the condition of insufficient nutrition, some new lateral branches no longer grow or form terminal buds when they grow to a certain extent, but grow clusters of leaves at the top of the branches, which often interfere with the tree shape and affect ventilation and light transmission, so they should be cut off from the base; There are also some branches that are particularly vigorous. They grow continuously in spring, summer and autumn, and can produce secondary branches and tertiary branches irregularly, but they can't form mixed buds, so they can't produce fruiting branches in the coming year. Therefore, it should be picked in summer to prevent them from growing endlessly and consuming nutrients, so as to promote the formation of full lateral buds between leaves and prepare for the production of new fruiting branches in the coming year.

Keep some needles growing at the top of branches as auxiliary branches, and use their dense leaves for photosynthesis. If there are too many branches and too dense, some of them can be thinned out to facilitate ventilation and light transmission. Pruning after fruiting refers to rebuilding dead branches, weak branches, long branches, dense branches and sprouting branches at the base. Because the terminal flower buds of pomegranate on spring shoots are reliable, spring shoots are generally not cut short except for plastic needs.
