When is the best season to prune pomegranate trees?

Pomegranate grows vigorously in summer. If there are too many branches in summer, it will affect the accumulation of nutrients, so it is often cut short in summer to control its growth.

The new branches are strong and vigorous, which will lose a lot of nutrition. After short cutting, the whole plant can grow and a small number of slender branches can be removed.

In addition, the main purpose of cutting off weak branches, inner branches and parallel branches is to make the whole pot of plants beautiful.

It should also be noted that pomegranate should not be maintained at high temperature in winter, and should be given a lower temperature environment to make it dormant, which is conducive to flowering. Generally, the environmental temperature of potted pomegranate should be kept between 0-5℃ and not higher than 10℃, and watering should be controlled, so as not to keep it wet and dry, and only water should be poured once when the soil in the pot is completely dry to prevent the whole plant from being seriously dehydrated, which is not conducive to late spring germination.

Fertilization should be based on phosphorus and potassium, and the key seasons of fertilization are before flowering and budding in summer and after fruit removal in autumn, which is quite critical.
