The pomegranate bonsai is a rare and cherished species, known for its unique twisted trunk. Finding high-quality pomegranate bonsai stock is a challenge, and once acquired, the opportunity to refine these trees is just as rare. In this video, we guide you through the techniques for pomegranate bonsai refinement, focusing on ramification assessment and the essential pruning methods needed to achieve optimal branching. Join us as we work on several twisted-trunk pomegranate trees, showcasing the steps to elevate this highly sought-after species.

THANK YOU so much for this video! I 've had my pomegranate for 25+ years and have been botching it up badly, because of my ignorance and fear that I would do something that might kill my tree. You have answered so many questions to problems I have struggled with for so long!! And released it on my birthday too! Best gift I've had in a long time

Love the tree and the developing lines.
Wish I loved the pot. The color and shape feel off.

Nice demo Ryan. One thing that I found interesting is that the slight tilt really made the whole design come alive, it had a huge impact.

[bjornlennartson]

Would love to see Ryan work on a silver birch at some point!

[VicktoryaStone]

Also I believe ... is the consensus to stop using the putty. I've heard this on several channels that in the last years' studies have shown that trees generally will recover from cuts better or as good without paste.

totally enjoyed this longish video. i have a much smaller but similar multi-ltrunk pomegranate. you have given me vision as to what it can be, as opposed to the boring shrub it is.... now if I can only get rid of the pests!

[samyoel]

What kind of paper do you use to wrap the wire with? Can you do the same with copper wire?

[LinusMuse]

Dramatic indeed! Would anyone know if these trees are grown in greenhouses? I ask bc of the paper-towel wrapping on the wire, which wouldn't last one rain on my outdoor trees. Thanks!

Off topic: I got a discount BoxWood ...is it safe to mess around with it this time of year.?..I live in centra Utah.

[VicktoryaStone]

I think of a more square, burgundy, dark pot, to presage and tickle the fruit.

[bakelall]

How will the tissue paper wrap on wires help?

[michaelkmiec]

Do they always twist counter clockwise

[GrimsleyAllyn]

So much to take from this, including my suspicions that 2 of those branches will die.

I Feel like he bet someone 'hey, bet i can say 'Dropping the kids off at the pool' 10 times in this video'
