Reasons why pomegranate does not blossom and bear fruit
Pomegranate is a seedling planting, which usually takes several years to blossom and bear fruit, but the number of flowering and bearing fruit in the first year is relatively small. Grafting can promote the flowering and fruiting of pomegranate trees. You can cut a branch with buds from other pomegranate trees and graft it on a branch that does not bear fruit.
Pomegranate trees need a lot of nutrition to blossom and bear fruit. If the soil is poor and cannot meet the flowering conditions of pomegranate trees, pomegranate trees will not bloom normally, even if the successful leaves are small. The flowering period of pomegranate trees is from May to June, and the pomegranate trees should be fertilized once a month from spring. It is suggested to apply liquid fertilizer or foliar fertilizer.
Pomegranate trees cannot bloom without light. If the location where pomegranate trees are planted lacks light, pomegranate trees will not be able to differentiate buds well and will not be able to blossom and bear fruit normally. If it is a potted pomegranate tree, it can be directly transferred to a well-lit place for maintenance. If it is a pomegranate tree planted on the ground, it needs to be transplanted to a sunny place for maintenance.
In the process of cultivating pomegranate trees, topping and pruning should be carried out regularly to promote pomegranate trees to sprout more side branches. If pruning is not carried out regularly, the branches of pomegranate trees will grow unrestrained and consume a lot of nutrients. Therefore, in the growth process of pomegranate trees, it is necessary to prune the branches that are too long, too long and too dense in time to make them blossom and bear fruit better.
