What skills do you need to learn to trim the beautiful shape of bonsai?

The purpose of pruning is not only to make the shape more beautiful, but also to make it blossom more, bear more fruits and bear good fruits. Therefore, the flowering and fruiting characteristics of potted pomegranate should be considered in pruning. "Wood Engineer" majoring in "Fruit Tree" naturally knows something about it. I have mentioned many times that this is a "sequel"! It should be emphasized that some beginners always copy the concept of "planting in the ground" to the pruning of "potted plants", which is wrong! The more pomegranates in the orchard, the better. What matters is the output.

Pomegranate fruits in flowerpots are all cut from pale parts. Because the flowers of fruit pomegranate are born in the axils of leaves near the top and branches, and these branches sprout on biennial branches, which are full and short, and the flowers are often not born on long branches, so the flowers are generally just decorations (except for tree-like needs), so too many branches, drooping branches and too dense branches on pomegranate trees should be thinned, so the branches of pomegranate trees should not be too dense to reduce nutrient consumption and increase ventilation and light transmission.

Long branches should also be cut off, which can reduce the consumption of nutrients and improve the ornamental value. The habit of pruning and flowering. After a period of time, all the new branches that did not bloom in that year stopped growing, and their terminal buds and several lateral buds at the top began to differentiate into mixed buds, forming fruiting mother branches to prepare for the fruiting branches in the next year. As a result, the mother branch should try to keep no terminal buds and side buds. Such branches are quite short, if not too many and too dense. They should be kept as auxiliary branches and their dense leaves should be used to make more nutrients. If there are too many branches and too dense, you can sparse some of them to facilitate ventilation. When pomegranate is ripe, it looks like a red lantern, giving people a festive feeling. In addition, pomegranate also has the beautiful meaning of having many children and grandchildren, so there are still many flower friends who like to grow pomegranate. Now is the cold dew solar term, not far from winter, wait until pomegranate grows next year.
