Why should pomegranate trees be pruned in summer? Please introduce that summer pruning of pomegranate trees is the perfection, continuation and supplement of winter pruning. Through summer pruning, the tree structure after winter pruning can be adjusted to the best state, maximize the effective leaf area, form more photosynthates, and lay a material foundation for better results. The main objects of pomegranate tree pruning in summer are the branches of young trees, strong trees and full-fruiting trees in winter. For young trees, it is mainly to accelerate tree growth, retain branches and leaves as far as possible, in order to expand leaf area, form crown as soon as possible, and complete material accumulation of vegetative growth. Therefore, light pruning, long pruning and more branches are the basic principles of young tree pruning, the center is to keep more branches, and the second is to arrange the reserved branches to the best spatial position through pruning technology. The summer cutting time is usually in the flowering stage. Flowering is the key period for the transformation from vegetative growth to reproductive growth of pomegranate. It relaxes vegetative growth, promotes nutrition accumulation and forms a robust and stable leaf curtain, which plays an extremely important role in improving fruit setting and forming good spring shoots and terminal buds in the early stage. At the same time, the tree growth is exuberant, the branches are soft, and it is easy to shape. Click to get more pomegranate tree planting techniques click to get more fruit planting techniques
