When to remove dead branches from pom??

Post by kanesham »

I just purchased a Pomegranate from a local nursery and in the excitement of the nice neberi and thickish trunk I didnt pay attention to the amount of dead wood on the tree. My question is should i remove all of the deadwood now or wait until the end of winter/ beginning of spring???? Any help would be great!

Yes these are very prone to die-back in my experience. If a branch is dead you can remove it any time.
