The purpose of pruning is not only to make the shape more beautiful, but more importantly, to make it bloom more, often, and bear more and good fruits. Therefore, the pruning of potted pomegranates should take its flowering into consideration. , result characteristics. "Wood engineers" who major in "fruit trees" will naturally know something about it. I have mentioned several times that this time is considered a "sequel"! What needs to be emphasized is that some beginners always copy the concept of "ground planting" into the pruning of "potted plants". This is wrong! The more pomegranates in the orchard, the better, what is important is the yield;

On the other hand, all the leggy parts of the pomegranates in the flowerpots are cut off from the base. Pomegranate flowers grow on the tops of current-year branches and in the leaf axils of a few leaves near the tops. These branches sprout from full-grown, stubby second-year branches, and long branches often cannot bear flowering branches, so generally ( Except for the needs of the tree shape, the seeds are just for decoration. Excessive twigs, drooping branches and overly dense branches on the pomegranate tree should be thinned out so that the branches of the pomegranate tree should not be too densely distributed to help reduce the increase in nutrient consumption. Breathable and light-transmissive.

It is also necessary to prune off the long branches, which can reduce the consumption of nutrients and improve the ornamental value. Prune according to flowering habit. Any new branches that do not bloom in the current year will stop growing after a period of growth. Their terminal buds and several lateral buds at the apex begin to differentiate into mixed buds to form fruiting mother branches to prepare for the production of fruiting branches in the coming year. In this way The fruiting mother branch should be kept as far as possible, with neither terminal buds nor side buds being obvious. Such branches are quite short, if not too numerous and dense. They should be retained as auxiliary branches, using their dense leaves to produce more nutrients. If there are too many branches and too dense, some of them can be thinned out to facilitate ventilation. When the pomegranates are ripe, they look like small red lanterns, giving people a festive feeling. In addition, pomegranates have a beautiful connotation of having many children and grandchildren, so there are still many florists who like to grow pomegranates. Now is the Cold Dew solar term, winter is not far away, and we have to wait until the pomegranates grow next year.
